Contrasts - John McCain, American Hero, Barack Obama, American Ego

A TALE OF TWO MEN

"...I was finding that prayer helped. It wasn't a question of asking for superhuman strength or for God to strike the North Vietnamese dead. It was asking for moral and physical courage, for guidance and wisdom to do the right thing. I asked for comfort when I was in pain, and sometimes I received relief. I was sustained in many times of trial...."John McCain

When the election season begins, we all wonder who is going to come out on top. You watch everyone primarily pandering and, while you see the differences, it all becomes ...

Dukakis Had His Tank, Al Gore the Internet, Kerry His Bunny Suit, Now Obama Has NASCAR?

OBAMA & NASCAR
Praise the Lord!

First - God Bless Sister Toldjah! Now, I needed the laugh. It wasn't just a laugh, it was maniacal giggle. God Bless The Democrats. They do it every time. Is it genetic or are their candidates so flawed they just can't help it? Bless Sister Toldjah who has come up with the story that Barack Obama is planning to sponser a NASCAR vehicle? Please, Please, Please let it be true. (Sorry, I gotta giggle again). Let's face it, we all thought he'd learned his lesson when he bowled a 38 with his ...

Thirteen Reasons Why "Green" Is a Crock

I'm in one of my nasty moods. I'm tired and way behind in my work, but had a great time in Tombstone last week. I may even do a TT on some of the photos I took that may be a 'ghost'. It was cool. So now I'm back home, working on a TT I started assembling several weeks ago. It is going to make some people a little snippy. That's fine. I think the 'chicken littles' are finally clucking home to roost, after ...

Obama Stalled On Runway

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:16:23 -0600

NOT THE BRIGHTEST BULB

We've all joked about Barack Obama being an empty shirt. I never realized how empty and how abjectly un "bright" until this morning. He is stalled on the runway in St. Louis while his campaign is being repaired.

What's wrong with this picture?

If this is such a powerful man, ready to take over as POTUS why the H-E-double-toothpick hasn't he grabbed a phone, started shouting orders and arranged for a quickie flight out of St. Louis. If Obama has all the money in the world to campaign with why not rent a couple of private ...

Has Obama Milked the Cash Cow Dry

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:11:40 -0600

FRANTIC FUND-RAISING

Remember in May, Barack Obama only raised 22 million, his weakest showing to date. June’s numbers are not in yet, but if the frantic fundraising pace is any indicator, June may not be all that good either. Meanwhile, the Dems are crying fowl (intended spelling) over a new loop-hole the GOP has found to raise more money. While there is all this weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by the Dems and their MSM supporters, maybe they should remember how Obama cheated by going back on his word about federal funds. This is politics, and all is ...

He Knows What Is Best - Part II

NATIONAL SERVICE FOR ALL

I'd not paid much attention to Barack Obama's July 2 speech on national service until I listened to Michael Medved this evening. I highly INSIST that you listen to the first half hour of his show today. It is chilling. If you weren't planning on voting for John McCain before, this will make you do so. Medved mentioned something that was not in Obama's prepared text: He is planning a civilian security force to augment the military. Can you say Gestapo? His plans for national service are terrifying. This man basically wants to take over ...

BARACK'S LITTLE FRIENDS

Like I said last night, it's a cheap shot, but it's a fun one. We all need a few cheap thrills these days and I'm no exception. Have you noticed that no one's brought up the following:

Barack Obama + Bill Ayers + Hugo Chavez (+/- Chavez's FARC connection)

From Little Green Footballs:

"...Obama hasn’t said a whole lot about Colombia other than to criticize President Bush’s good relations with President Uribe. With this correspondence suggesting that FARC knows what he thinks, maybe the American voters have a right to know what he thinks, too. Five questions ...

I Think “Conservatives” Are Nicer Than Liberals

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:18:34 -0600

NO SENSE OF HUMOR?

I think the studies they’ve done on Conservatives and Liberals may be true. I’d rather term it Republicans and Democrats and for this commentary I will. We lovely Republicans are happier, kinder, and more generous. I wonder how that corresponds to the theory that we are rude, nasty, and don’t give anything to anyone? Liberals are alleged to be the most perfect beings since the Olympic gods graced ancient Greece. (Oh, wait, they were nasty little you know what’s weren’t they?)

I guess I’m tired liberals who complain about how bad we are, but forget ...

This Week’s “Subliminal Smear” – McCain’s Experience - via the military.

STOP SMEARING BIG MAC
Are you as angry as I am? I know politics is politics, but when is enough enough? Today at lunch, I was in tears as I thought about the mistreatment of John McCain, not at the hands of the communists, but at the hands of the Democrats. It wasn’t because I am a supporter of Senator McCain, but because of the past. I was a teenager when those images of the POWs returning home filtered in (black and white) to the ...

FASTEN YOUR SEAT-BELTS

We could be in for a bumpy ride. Larry Sinclair has provided his phone records - and strangely enough, they point Sinclair, not Barack Obama, telling the truth. From Obama Who?

"...“A newly released CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll found that if Obama does not select Clinton as his running mate, 22 percent of her supporters would stay home this fall (almost 4 million voters) — and another 17 percent (a little over 3 million) would vote for McCain.” –CNN (parentheses are mine). So, if we use 2004 as the baseline - GWB won with 62 million voters ...

MANNERS OR REAL LIFE?

Even though I am acting like a crazed you know what this week, trying to make due with limited internet connections, limited air conditioning, and having to get my FOX via an annoying XM system, I try to be polite to people. As cranky and you know what-chy I've been lately, I am not rude to people. If I am, you will know it, big time. I dislike people who aren't fair. I dislike people who take advantage of others. And - one of the things I dislike most is someone who talks a big game ...

Obama's Self-Righteous Campaign & Supporters

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:05:08 -0600

WHY DO LIBERALS HATE MUSLIMS?

Let's be honest here. Religion and politics are getting out of hand. I feel sorry for the good honest athiest who one day decides to run for President of the United States. She doesn't stand a snowball's chance, even if she is a liberal. The reason I say this about liberals is there's a dirty little secret out there. Evidently liberals are more prejudiced againt religion - all religions, than we previously thought possible.

Case in point:

Chickenhawk Express treats us to one of the most luscious and remarkable "exposes" to date. Some self-righteous Obama ...

More Obama Lies?

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 21:45:25 -0600

STOP THE SMEAR?

Evidently Barack Obama is the gift that keeps on giving. The MSM here in the US is ignoring the Great Birth Certificate Debacle, but fortunately there is the Israeli press. The Israli Insider isn't letting this story go away, fortunately. Then there is the great fundraising lie - only the "little people" are supporting Barack Obama. Horse Hockey! Even deeper horse hockey is the fact that the American MSM is fawning, all in love with the Great Obamassiah. They don't care to dig beyond the campaign rhetoric, even when it changes every other minute or two. It ...

The Obama Bully Game Against John McCain Continues

THE PSYCH OPS SMEAR GAME

The on FOX, we were treated to the same old litany from the Obama campaign. It was the same song, just a new verse. FOX appears to be in the tank for Barack Obama. If you will notice, FOX covers Obama's speeches with adoration, and cuts into McCains. When FOX does use a "real" Republican, they use Karl Rove. The rest of the time they resort to extreme conservatives like Bay Buchanan and Laura Ingraham, neither one of whom have any love for the GOP. They are falling lock-step into the Obama Subliminal smear campaign...

Amateur Hour, Abject Arrogance, or Both?

SJ Reidhead — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:19:32 -0600

THAT MAGNIFICENT OBAMA CAMPAIGN?

If any other individual running for POTUS were conducting the current version of the campaign the Obamassiah were conducting, it would be an object of much derision and laughter. Let’s face it, the current incarnation of the Obama National Campaign is not ready for prime time! Maybe it’s not the campaign, maybe it is the candidate. You can only coast so far on smoke, mirrors, and arrogance.

Over the years I’ve watched people enough to know that there are times when arrogance is a cover for incompetence. Then, I went back to the Merriam Webster definition ...

Obama, Tom Daschle & the Ethanol Lobby

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:44:03 -0600

IT’S A GAS!

It is a good thing Barack Obama is not in bed, snuggling up to lobbyists, or he could be accused of selling out to the corn/ethanol lobby for votes in the mid-west. Evidently Obama used his ties to the ethanol lobby as a spring-board to the mid-western corn states and his POTUS run. He and Tom Daschle, now a lobbyist for the corn-ethanol industry travel together quite a bit in the mid-west. (Daschle says he is not a lobbyist for the industry, but speaks out for them on occasion). According to the NYTimes, Daschle isn’t the ...

THE SMELL TEST

There are times when things just don’t pass the smell test. In other words, something has an odor of mendacity upon it. (Stolen from Tennessee Williams). I keep going back to the fact that Barack Obama has a Teflon coating that’s been sprayed with PAM and hosed down with the most slippery of non-stick substances. Let’s face it, if the media were playing fair, Hillary Clinton would be the nominee, not a narcissistic, thin-skinned, inexperienced individual with a cast of associates that would make any Chicago hood proud. There is such a tremendous media bias...

Obama, Money, Polls & John McCain

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:15:55 -0600

SMOKE & MIRRORS

Considering the poor month Barack Obama had in May with his fund-raising attempts, where he pulled in just $200,000 more than John McCain, why is he pulling out of federal funding? Well, he's going to leave that up to John McCain and all that dirty money he is taking from PACs. The problem with that little canard is the fact that, accoring to Ruffini, who did another of his magical money studies, only 1% of John McCain's money comes from PACS. Once again, the way I keep telling you, Barack Obama is a lobby sucking ...

Will Barack Obama Stop His Supporters from Smearing John McCain?

SJ Reidhead — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:55:30 -0600

STOP THE SMEARS

Yesterday I mentioned that Barack Obama reminds me of a certain individual who would condemn others for the things he was about to do or was doing. Barack Obama reminds me of this person in so many different ways it is alarming. So, the Obama Campaign sets up this web site condemning the GOP for smearing him, but allows his campaign to go at John McCain in some vile and disgusting ways.

LET ME COUNT THE WAYS
1. Stop the crap about John McCain's age!

"...Democrats are deliberately talking in code about the presumptive 71-year-old GOP ...

I agree with Michelle Malkin on this one. Yes - I agree with her. I disagree with her so much, when I agree, I try to be fair and balanced – which is a heck of a lot more than FOX is being right now. Bob Beckel and his little Democratic friends are doing their best to portray John McCain, the “Right”, and Conservatives as not exactly being honest. We aren’t the ones doing all the “smear” jobs on Obama. Some – but not all that much. The "smear" is in the mendacity of the Obama Campaign. ...

Barack Obama Visits Flood Ravaged Iowa, Downs Gloves, Digs In (repaired)

SJ Reidhead — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 09:00:00 -0600

WHY THE GLOVES?

While others are disparately shoveling dirt into sandbags to stave off the ravaging flood waters that are turning Iowa into another of the Great Lakes, Barack Obama made a visit. He downed some work gloves and started shoveling dirt into sand-bags, yet another photo-op. Notice the people in front of him - no gloves. Yes, it is petty and tacky, but what the heck.

Seriously, why isn't the flooding in Iowa getting much coverage? It is one of the most catastrophic floods in American History, but you don't see any news anchors going around crying, ...

A PINK FLAMINGO X-CLUSIVE - Obama's Birth Record - I Can't Find It (repaired)

THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE

DISCLAIMER: I am an experienced family genealogist. I am familiar with the various ways to locate birth certificates and family records. I used a paid site to locate Barack Obama's Hawaiian birth certificate. I could not find it. I have emailed the information to several dozen associates for them to follow up on what I found, or did not find. Hawaii has some of the strongest secrecy laws in the country for birth, death, marriage, etc. certificates. It could be that their laws prevent the company I used from accessing the records.

I cannot locate Barack Obama’s ...

She could be a Palm Beach socialite but she couldn’t stand the life-style. The estate she created in South Carolina and the house was so remarkable, it was a much coveted request on the GOP POTUS campaign trail, year in and year out, not that she would ever give in and host a fund-raiser.

Any good Trekkie automatically associates the word Metamorphosis with the Trek Classic episode featuring Zefram Cochrane. Without giving you a detailed history of space flight, warp drive, first contact with the Vulcans thereby proving that Star Trek is salient to all aspects of life, simply – nah, nothing’s simple with Zefram Cochrane. Metamorphosis features a really bitchy Federation diplomat who was dying; the ship wrecked Cochrane, an interesting creature in love with Cochrane, and the wit and wisdom of James T. Kirk. Long story short, the alien merged with the dying Federation bitchy type. They were able to ...

Barack Obama, Religious, Shallow, or Psychopath

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:02:57 -0600

MY VOTE IS FOR THE LATTER

“…Most criminals -- whether psychopathic or not -- are shaped by poverty and often childhood abuse as well. In contrast, corporate psychopaths typically grew up in stable, loving families that were middle class or affluent. But because they're pathological liars, they tell romanticized tales of rising from tough, impoverished backgrounds. Dunlap pretended that he grew up as the son of a laid-off dockworker; in truth, his father worked steadily and raised his family in suburban comfort. The corporate psychopaths whom Babiak studied all went to college, and a couple even had PhDs. Their ...

A BARACK OBAMA ABORTION PRIMER

There is another reason we need to band together to defeat Barack Obama. He is one of the most pro-abortion candidates we’ve ever seen. There are some terrifying new developments in assisted suicide in California. Considering Obama’s view on partial birth abortion and his plans to socialize medicine it has terrifying implications for everyone who isn’t absolutely perfect, young, healthy, and beautiful. It is literally a license to kill.
