Conservative Common Man

A reasonable person would have a difficult time denying that parrot press outlets such as the Washington Post are little more than divisions of the Obama campaign staff. Today’s Post offers further proof of the advantage that Obama’s campaign holds over the McCain campaign. It is extremely ironic that McCain played such an instrumental role in magnifying his opponent’s advantage via his McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation that muzzles the private citizen thus allowing parrot press hit pieces greater impact.

It seems that staff writer Robert Barnes lives in fear, dreading the horror of a potential Supreme Court that respects the Constitution and its duty. The message of “A Win By McCain Could Push a Split Court to Right” could be summarized as a five alarm alert for those that prefer judicial activism over the Constitution:

A victory by the presumptive Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, would probably mean preserving the uneasy but roughly balanced status quo, since the justices who are considered most likely to retire are liberal. A win for his Republican counterpart, John McCain, could mean a fundamental shift to a consistently conservative majority ready to take on past court rulings on abortion rights, affirmative action and other issues important to the right.

Isn’t funny how liberals see rights that don’t exist and refuse to see rights that do? Barnes article seems like a campaign ad mostly because it is either blatantly disingenuous or he is ignorant of the history of the Republican nominee. An honest appraisal would conclude with the likelihood that McCain would shy away from strict constructionist judges regardless of his promises to do the right thing. As I said in a discussion group the other day, it would seem this election is a choice between potential Ginsberg appointments and potential Souter appointments. Either way the American public and the Constitution loses.

Constitution respecting citizens can at least hope to influence a McCain appointment. There is the possibility that he could appoint judges that adhere to their mandate, so this might be what Barnes fears. Although he does provide a little honesty in parentheses proving that he has some knowledge of McCain’s history:

(McCain’s endorsement of Roberts and Alito as his models for judicial appointments is somewhat ironic, since each has authored an opinion dismantling part of the senator’s most notable legislative achievement.)

The addition of a conservative in the mold of Roberts or Alito to replace the court’s longest-serving justice, 88-year-old John Paul Stevens, would make Kennedy’s role less pivotal. For instance, it would not be hard to imagine the court’s jurisprudence on the death penalty changing dramatically without Stevens, who this year announced that his 30 years on the bench had convinced him that capital punishment cannot be fairly administered.

You see it is not only the fabricated right to have a child ripped from the mother’s womb that must be protected. Anti-justice Kennedy’s power to play king must be preserved so that states can’t execute child rapists. Barnes apparently dreams of a day when the only people that can legally be executed are unborn or maybe even recently born children. The objects of the “Hope” of an Obamunist are really sickening if you stop to think about them.

Jon Cohen and Jennifer Agiesta have a piece in Sunday’s Washington Post with a headline that seems intended to show that white people are racist and if somehow Barry O doesn’t win the presidency it can be attributed to racism. I, of course, assumed it was written by Juliet Eilperin when I read the headline, “3 in 10 Americans Admit To Race Bias.” The headline and the beginning of the article are for the benefit of those that just take a glance and then walk away with the prescribed sense of righteous indignation regarding race relations in the United States. The casual headline reader might reasonably get the impression that the deck is stacked against the propagation of Obamunism, although the casual headline reader probably doesn’t stop to think that he is actually supporting Obama’s version of Communism (Obamunism,) when he supports Obama. Ominously bleak first sentence:

As Sen. Barack Obama opens his campaign as the first African American on a major party presidential ticket, nearly half of all Americans say race relations in the country are in bad shape and three in 10 acknowledge feelings of racial prejudice, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Of course the libiots at the Post don’t discuss factors such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton promoting racism for profit or programs designed to maintain racial divides. Scholarships for minorities only, hiring quotas, and race-oriented organizations all work together to ensure racial divides will never heal. These factors contribute to the attitudes that the Post laments (before launching into its gleeful “Hope” for racism):

More than six in 10 African Americans now rate race relations as “not so good” or “poor,” while 53 percent of whites hold more positive views. Opinions are also divided along racial lines, though less so, on whether blacks face discrimination. There is more similarity on feelings of personal racial prejudice: Thirty percent of whites and 34 percent of blacks admit such sentiments.

Oh no, the racism fostered by race-hustlers and special programs designed to foster racism had the intended affect! Whatever will we do? Not to worry dedicated Obamunists, the Post says you can “Hope” for racism to carry you to victory:

His campaign advisers hope race may prove a benefit, that heightened enthusiasm among African Americans will make Obama competitive in GOP-leaning states with large black populations. But to win in November, Obama most likely will have to close what is now a 12-point deficit among whites. (Whites made up 77 percent of all voters in 2004; blacks were 11 percent, according to network exit polls.)

The article goes back and forth between whites being racist and that being a potential threat to an Obamanation and the “Hope” for Change” that racism may bring due to a bump, courtesy of race-only voters. The bottom line of this article (or unpaid campaign ad for Barack Obama) is that the glory of Obamunism may be realized thanks to the racism they decry.

Is it good for the state of race relations to depend on racism to elect a president? Probably not, but just like Jackson and Sharpton, The Obama Campaign (I would include The Washington Post in an unofficial capacity of course) pretends to oppose racism in order to foster racism as a means to their selfish ends. Perhaps the most disturbing part of this entire situation is that there are millions of voters that either share the goals of the vile or are duped by the vile.

Democrats are used to blindly voting against their own best interests as evidenced by:

• Union members consistently voting for the party that wants to flood the labor pool with cheaper (and illegal) laborers.
• Union members consistently voting for the party that opposes the growth of business and imposes suffocating restrictions on business (then blaming the business when it closes or moves.)
• Black people voting for possibly the most pro-abortion presidential candidate in history regardless of the number of black children killed in carrying out the racist mission of Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood pioneer.
• Religious people voting for candidates that fight for the extermination of babies for convenience. (Do supposedly religious people that vote for pro-abortion candidates ask God for forgiveness every day for the rest of their lives?)
• Democrats that drive and don’t like paying $4 a gallon for gasoline continue to support candidates that will fight (not admittedly, of course) to raise the price further and create shortages by preventing the access to and refining of our own oil, while advocating energy independence, naturally.

So it isn’t surprising anymore, to see people voting against their own interests. It is far too common for the people that complain about a situation to vote for and support the very candidates that are most likely to make the situation worse. Are Americans simply sadomasochistic?

From Malignant Liberal Idiocy:

I was disheartened to click on Cristina Page’s bio and find out she has a child and another on the way. The fact that she has children is not disheartening, but the fact that she has children and still advocates so feverishly for abortion “rights” is. Sadness and disgust are accurate descriptions of my reaction to her latest Huffington Post display of maniacal libiocy, “Obama: The Real Pro-Life Candidate.”

If you are not familiar with the moral decay and aspirations toward Socialism usually espoused by most bloggers at HuffPo, you might think Mrs. Page’s entry is a work of satire based on the title. One could reasonably expect to see such an outrageously contradictory headline in MAD Magazine. The sad and disgusting truth is that Mrs. Page is serious. The demented chair of the Huffington Chapter of Barry Hussein’s Fan Club’s Abortion Promotion Committee writes:

Obama has a huge opportunity to win over an unlikely voting bloc: pro-life voters. The debate over reproductive rights has for decades existed in the abstract; it’s been a back and forth volley over “values” that’s heavy on emotion and light on fact. But the facts reveal surprising truths and they ought to be hammered home by Obama. The data show that the pro-choice approach is more effective at achieving what the American public views as “pro-life” goals i.e. reducing the number of abortions, preventing late term abortion, than the so-called “pro-life” approach.

She goes on to lay out how Obama is for access to birth control and conservatives are against access to birth control. Thus apparently Obama really does qualify as “the Pro-life candidate” in her opinion. Of course her focus on “access” to birth control is coupled with her disdain for the notion of teaching abstinence. The following is what Mrs. Page neglects to mention, intentionally I’m sure.

Congress Could Prove Useful, Despite Pelosi

June 14th, 2008 by sepierce and tagged Energy, Gas Prices, Pelosi, Shimkus

There are two discharge petitions currently in the U.S. House of Representatives of which the leadership would prefer you not hear. These petitions would force Bela Pelosi to allow two important bills to come to the floor for a vote. Discharge petitions require 218 signatures, so please go to the links provided to find out if your congressman has signed these important petitions.

The first petition is for The Broadcaster Freedom Act, HR 2095, which would permanently stop any attempts to reinstate the ridiculously named “Fairness Doctrine.” Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) has successfully gotten a one year ban on the free speech silencing doctrine. Unfortunately that temporary ban is about to expire. Click on the picture below to see who are the spineless libiot hypocrites that agreed to the one-year ban but refuse to sign the discharge petition to bring the permanent bill to the floor. The picture links to a site aptly called hypocrisycaucus.com.

The second, but obviously no less important discharge petition is for HR 3089, “The No More Excuses Energy Act of 2007.” My congressman, John Shimkus (R-IL) has signed this petition, has yours? Didn’t Pelosi and her fellow libiots make fuel prices a part of their 2006 campaign? Well they have certainly impacted the cost of fuel. I suppose the folks that supported the Democrat takeover sought higher prices. So  if you think paying $4 a gallon is the right thing to do, you may want to disregard this petition. If you would like Congress to do its job instead of acting as an obstinate blockade to the achievement of the best interests of the citizens it supposedly represents, you may want to ask your congressman to do just that! You may want to call or e-mail his or her office and ask why he or she isn’t doing the right thing. You may want to inquire as to who he or she serves, you or Pelosi the libiot dominatrix.

“Power to the People” can be a reality. We can need to remember who pays the salaries and provides the perks for the elected representatives. Here’s a radical thought… how about we demand that our representatives represent us!

Citizens of Illinois, ever wonder where you could go to get a firsthand look at the factors that drive the cost of gas to such unacceptable levels? Well look no further than the ConocoPhillips refinery in Roxana, IL! The Telegraph gleefully reports “ConocoPhillips’ expansion in limbo after challenge to permit upheld.”

Environmentalists are celebrating what they said Friday was a big victory after a U.S. EPA decision to send ConocoPhillips’ plans for a multi-billion-dollar expansion of its Wood River Refinery back to the drawing board.

However, Melissa Erker, a spokeswoman for the refiner’s facility in Roxana, said the company did everything its officials thought was right in obtaining a permit under the Clean Air Act and will continue to seek to correct the regulatory problems.

Which party usually panders to the Environmental Socialists again? Oh, that’s right, its the Democrats. I thought they were concerned about the price of gas and employment. Weird. I must have been mistaken… but then again, maybe I wasn’t. You see, liberal politicians are concerned about whatever the particular group to which they may need to pander are concerned about. So citizens of the St. Louis Metro-east, they would like nothing more for you to have good paying jobs and lower fuel costs. That is until you leave the room and the bark-humpers enter.

Al Gore and Sheryl Crow would certainly approve of the actions of the enviro-nazis:

A big part of the dispute is a difference between the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s view of carbon dioxide emissions during “flaring,” a process in which waste gases from the refining process are burned.

The state agency has no standards for carbon dioxide emissions during flaring, but the environmental groups claimed they should. They argued before a U.S. EPA appeals panel that statutory and case law supports their claim that the state should require the best technology available in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

The plaintiffs cited the type of flaring equipment required in California as the example of the best technology available. The state EPA should have allowed public comment on that subject, they argued.

Did you get that? Illinois has no standards on the books for “flaring” so some group of environmentalist human-haters insists they adopt California’s standards, even though the Illinois EPA had already granted an expansion permit. Money is no object because apparently there have been “record profits!” Imagine how much of those “record profits” could be used for exploration, expansion, and research… if the wastes of space in government and the psychotic environmentalists would step out of the way.

What is even worse is that the high cost of gas will probably cause some people to vote for Democrats this fall. How twisted is that? Pain at the pump is going to inspire people to vote for the party that promises to make it better while their every action could only make it worse! Wasn’t Nancy Pelosi going to take care of gas prices? Don’t blame me, I vote for conservatives (when they are running.)

Now that I am coming to grips with the disturbing reality that the Democrats have won the presidential election, I have to shift into preservation mode. I would normally be inclined to campaign against the Democrat nominee and the dangerous proposals said nominee would be likely to float. A series of unfortunate events that would make Lemmony Snickett cringe has dictated that people like me must choose which Democrat option will be the least devastating for our nation, our future, and our liberty.

You might be thinking “hey dummy, the election is months away and no one has won it yet!” You would be correct, no candidate has won it yet, however a party has. The Democrat Party wins regardless of the results between John McCain and Barry Obama. Effectively, the race is now between a somewhat conservative (for a Democrat) that is officially a Republican (albeit in name only) Democrat and a Marxist, but not officially Communist Democrat. Some choice, isn’t it?

The choice is actually made somewhat easy by the terrifying potential of an Obamanation. The fact that some of us can’t even get real pleasure out of The Rapist’s Wife losing the nomination illustrates just how scary the threat of Obammunism is! CPUSA is certainly in Barry’s corner and believe his presidency would be an important step toward Socialism. Admittedly, the thought that The Clinton’s will probably never go a way also hampers the excitement of the defeat of “the feminist that ignores victims of rape.”

Given Obama’s “hope” of “changing” our country into a Socialist nation to rival Venezuala , his ideas of Marxist fairness, and his demonstrated inclination to associate with racists and radicals (as well as criminals),) I am forced to submit to casting a vote for McCain. I did not even mention Obama’s absolutely disgusting positions and activism on the issue of abortion. That is all types of abortions and at all stages, for those of you who are not keeping up with the ridiculous situation this presidential election has evolved to be. What he has done on behalf of the slaughter of innocents is so vile that this alone is reason enough to vote for the other Democrat. Think about what it actually means that he caused a version of a born alive protection act to die in his committee in the Illinois Senate. That action required conscious consideration that leaving a living, breathing baby on a table to die (in the event that an abortion failed) is somehow the right thing to do! This of course is the same man who indicated he would rather have his grandchild killed as opposed to his daughter being “punished with a baby.”

I never would have expected a set of circumstances under which I could stomach voting for John McCain. I so despise Senator McCain’s eagerness to appease the most liberal of his fellow senators. I am disgusted by his lack of concern for our domestic national security as displayed by his infatuation with allowing anyone and everyone to pour over our southern border and his desire to reward those who are here illegally. I believe his McCain-Feingold free speech muzzle served exactly its purpose in allowing a liberal media darling to attain the Republican nomination by stifling the political opinions of the average citizen.

In a sane world, John McCain’s VIP pass on the anthropogenic global warming express would have prevented him from even being seriously considered for the nomination of the Republican Party. Again, I can’t believe my vote will be cast for a man that would raise the price of gas even further and put more Americans out of work all for the sake of Al Gore’s religion.

McCain’s desire to have taxpayers fund the creation and destruction of human embryo’s would not be acceptable to a pro-life voter if the other Democrat’s abortion position wasn’t so extreme and horrifying!

All the negatives of John McCain, as viewed through a lens of common sense conservatism, and there are an almost endless number of them, pale in comparison to “Big Brother” Barry’s potential. I have no doubt that he “hopes” to bring “change.” The trouble is that his change is Socialism and the removal of individual liberty for the sake of some collective. The threat of Obammunism prods me into voting for the more conservative Democrat.

Tell Your Senators to Vote NO on S. 2191!

Senate to Vote on Disastrous Cap-and-Trade this week! Take Action!

Tell your Senators to vote Against Cloture on S. 2191!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid intends to bring the disastrous cap-and-trade energy-rationing bill to the Senate floor this week. A cloture vote on the motion to proceed to debate of the bill is scheduled for Monday, June 2nd, so there is no time to waste! Get your calls into your Senators’ offices now!
Sponsored by Senators Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) and John Warner (R-VA), America’s Climate Security Act (S. 2191) would restrict energy use to combat so-called “global warming.” This bill has received lots of hype, but very little serious analysis of its implications.

A recent poll conducted by the National Center for Public Policy Research found that 65% of Americans oppose spending even a penny more for gasoline in an effort to reduce “greenhouse gas” emissions.

The Lieberman-Warner bill promises hardship for the economy and the American consumer. Call your Senators’ Capitol Hill offices now and tell them to vote NO on Lieberman-Warner today!

Say NO to Obama, stop the Obamanation!

May 28th, 2008 . by TexasFred

We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Hussein Obama of rare magnitude. His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of ‘Change’ or they believe him when he says he will be a ‘Uniter’. The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham had charisma and his manner of speech, and particularly the content of that speech, changed the lives of untold millions. On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler inspired millions as well, and the results were catastrophic.Barack Hussein Obama seems to radiate an aura of pure evil as he attempts to call upon the inspirational speaking styles of both Billy Graham and Adolf Hitler, and it makes me feel an almost primal fear every time I see this person, not a man to man fear but a deeper and much more spiritual fear, as if a pall of doom were being cast across America…

Here are just a few things that define Barack Hussein Obama:

– He voted against banning partial birth abortion.

– He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.

– Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government.

– In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing.

– Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as a minimum wage affair.

– Admitted marijuana and cocaine use in high school and in college.

– His religious convictions are very murky.

– He is willing to meet, unconditionally, with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

– Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have a conference with all Muslim nations.

– Opposed the Patriot Act.

– First bill he signed that was passed was campaign finance reform.

– Voted No on prohibiting law suits against gun manufacturers.

– Supports universal health care.

– Voted Yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.

– Supports granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

– Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.

– Voted Yes on comprehensive immigration reform. Would result in 20 million instant citizens never having paid SS, many refusing to speak English, immediately sending for their 40 to 50 million extended relatives telling them not to wait and obey the laws, the once mighty USA is theirs for the taking.

– Voted Yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.

– Wants to make the minimum wage a ‘living wage’.

– Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes.

– Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid.

– He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax.

– He voted No on repealing the ‘Death’ Tax.

– He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax.

– Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded.

– Has never served in the military and has never visited Afghanistan, and hasn’t bothered to visit Iraq since Jan. of 2006.

– He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.

– Is a notorious gun grabber, he wants to completely disarm the American population and is a total supporter of ALL anti-gun legislation.

If your political choices are consistent with Barack Obama’s and you think that his positions will bring America together or make it a better place, then you will probably enjoy the ride and not re-post this message as we attempt to stop this poser from ascending to the Oval Office.

If you agree that this is an important issue, please pass it on in a nationwide emailing and re-post it on your blogs…

The mainstream media will not do it for you!

Obama is EVIL personified and a danger to America!

Will Disciples of The Bulbous Goreacle Save Jupiter?

The Drudge Report has a link that reads: JUPITER IN THE BALANCE: Recent ‘red spots’ likely due to climate change…I would like to know what the parishioners of Al Gore’s Church of Climate Change (formerly known as Church of Global Warming, but that was before even the libiot supporters of this religion started to realize that wee seem to be entering a cooling cycle) are going to do to fix this problem. Will donations to be directed such that The Goreacle can commission the construction of a green space shuttle (hybrid, of course) that would enable the round one, himself to fly to Jupiter and seek out the culprits? I’m guessing the shuttle would have a catchy name like “Inconvenient 1″ or “Mean Green Flyin’ Machine.”

Will Disciples of The Bulbous Goreacle Save Jupiter?

I was perusing the headlines of the on-line version of my former hometown newspaper, The Telegraph, and I noticed the following eye-catching title. “Former legislator getting golden parachute.” Before clicking the link, I thought Chicago Democrat. It came as no shock to read that the swindler in question is former state senator Carol Ronen, Democrat from Chicago (7th District.) From The Telegraph:

CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago newspaper reports that former State Senator Carol Ronen worked only eight weeks in Governor Rod Blagojevich’s office earlier this years but is being rewarded for her brief service with a golden parachute.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the job in the governor’s office means that the 63-year-old Ronen will receive nearly $38,000 in increased pension pay a year for the rest of her life.

Ronen’s stint as a Blagojevich senior adviser is enabling the governor’s one-time Senate floor leader to get a $102,000-a-year state pension. Ronen will thus earn 35 percent more in retirement than she did as a $75,301-a-year legislator.

Had Blagojevich not hired Ronen and had she retired from the Senate at this time, her pension would be $64,005 annually.

For 8 weeks of what I’m sure was strenuous labor as senior adviser to Daley’s puppet, Carol Ronen was given a windfall that depending on pension tax rates, is sweeter than winning the state lottery! According to the FAQ page of The Illinois Lottery site, a jackpot of $1 million (assuming you don’t want to lose 49% by taking a lump sum) would be payable in a 26 year annuity. The federal tax would be 25% and the state tax would be 3%, depending on the winner’s filing status. Therefore a $1 million jackpot winner would bring home about $27,700 per year for 26 years. Hmmm… I wonder if the odds are better selling your soul and becoming a member of the corrupt Chicago political machine than if you went to the convenience store and purchased a ticket?

Not only will Ronen retire with a pension that is considerably more than her salary as a state sponge, I mean senator, but she also has the honor of being a Democrat superdelegate! She is powerful as well as rich. I know you’ll be shocked that she has endorsed fellow Chicago machine member Barry Obama. I wonder if she also had to attend a blessing ceremony at the home of domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrne when she initially ran for the Illinois House?
