Big Bad Leroy Obama - Up and Coming Messiah!

THE CULT OF OBAMA

Earlier today, I received an email. I cannot go into the details other than the fact that evidently, in order for a person to get tickets to an Obama event, they must sell their souls to work for Obama. Tickets require work. Work includes going door to door like certain religions (think about the one Michael Jackson belongs too) seeking converts. I emailed back and told her this sounds like some sort of a cult. Low and behold (heavenly choir please as a beam of light shines from the heavens onto Obama's saintly head) I find ...

Mexico's Drug Wars Threaten US Border

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 12 May 2008 09:22:43 -0600

IT'S THE DRUGS NOT THE ILLEGALS

The Juarez style "narco-crimes" are now invading Tucson in the "narco" community. This is going to become more and more the norm all along the border as Mexico's narco-war invades the US. It makes a person wonder why the House Democrats want to cut anti-drug aid to Mexico just when the nation needs it the most! Fortunately, we have a GOP Presidential nominee who "Gets it".

"...Until now, Republicans and Democrats had tried to make as little noise as possible about the Bush administration's Mérida Initiative, a request for $500 million to help Mexico ...

CAN WE ASK?

The RNC has created a new site designed to for people who want to ask Barack Obama a question. It is a great idea. There are a heck of a lot of questions I would like to ask, such as: When did you last use illegal substances? But I am behaving myself. The Dems have a problem here. Barack Obama is not a good candidate. Roger Simon has put it so succinctly – Obama is not the man for our times. I think this puts Barack Obama into perspective. Should a person who cannot take criticism be ...

Exciting Development: The US Now Has 57 States!

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 09 May 2008 22:01:29 -0600

DO THEY HAVE SUPER-DELEGATES

I think this is a job for the new RNC site Can We Ask!

My father has made the connection between Barack Obama’s statement that there are 57 ( maybe 58) states and has tracked it back to the John Kerry Campaign of 2004. He thinks Obama picked it up from Heinz 57!

I want to know when we added 7 new states.
Where are they?
What are their names?
Have they had their primaries yet?
Did Barack Obama win their popular vote?
Did he pick up their Super-Delegates?
Is Barack Obama Dumber Than Dirt?

Is It the Flu or a Head Cold? Could Be Ebola

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 07 May 2008 21:25:23 -0600

WEDNESDAY, MAY 7

Big Mac is taking Manhattan tonight to raise $7 million! I HOPE! If he did not have my vote, he would with this!

Nothing is more annoying than either a paper cut or a head cold. I have the latter. I had no sleep at all last night. I know one thing, I've proven that Air-Bourn really works. I quit using it about a month ago. This is the first cold /flu I've had in at least 2 years. I've been using the product religiously during that time.

AIRING AYERS & OBAMA
A Pink Flamingo guest article by Sally Vee

We have Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago to thank for the reinvention and legitimization of the vile human being known as William Ayers. Daley magnanimously forgave and waved his royal hand over the head of extreme leftist/terrorist Bill Ayers, giving him more influence on America than we can fathom -- it is very likely Ayers has directly influenced your own children or those in your neighborhood. Mayor Daley hired Ayers to do the one job where he could spread his neo-marxist poison in the largest, surest measure ...

Dems May Reap What GOP Sewed?

SJ Reidhead — Thu, 01 May 2008 22:32:03 -0600

HOW BAD ARE THINGS?

Once again the voices of doom are declaring the GOP dead and buried. According to the most recent WSJ poll, evidently the GOP isn’t well favored by voters this year – or are they? The eternals are here. This is a poll for Registered Voters and not Likely Voters.

Cindy McCain is not being treated decently by the liberal media, I think. So what if she is rich. John Kerry’s wife was worth a fortune and the liberal press ignored it. This woman, worthy of being a First Lady, is being treated horribly by liberal ...

Are Bio-fuels Ethical? a Bio-Fuel Primer

THE GREEN DEATH

There are now endless Henny-Penny reports that the sky is falling
and we are all going to die of starvation.    They are “rationing” rice at Wally-World and Costco. They are rationing rice in Israel.   (same way as here) Napal is cutting off exports of grain. People in underdeveloped countries are truly suffering. The question is: Are bio-fuels to blame or is it that evil global warming?

Or – is all the hype political and designed to help the Dems over the Republicans?   Are there reasonable solutions that may simply involve the way third world ...

WHY SHOULD I BE FORCED TO ATONE

Today, Dave at Oricus links to a commentary at Fire Dog Lake about a Peggy Noonan column. I have long ago said the venerable Ms Noonan is not firing on all thrusters. I think this time she has basically driven over a cliff.
On April 28 at the WSJ Noonan wrote:

Obama Shocked, Shocked About Jeremiah Wright

OBAMA THROWS HIMSELF FROM THE TRAIN

The great irony here is Barack Obama’s less than honorable behavior isn’t going to matter a bit to his supporters. They want change. Well, they got it. This adult (I don’t think he’s a ‘real’ man but a Plastic Ken) is so full of prevarications and canards, he makes Bill Clinton appear honest! It makes you appreciate being a Republican.

Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy has a very good take on Barack Obama.

JEREMIAH WAS A BULLFROG
SUCH A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE?

Did a Clinton supporter help Jeremiah Wright sell out Barack Obama?

Barack Obama wants us to believe this is not the same man he knew, as he denounced Jeremiah Wright. Granted the man isn't flying on all thrusters, but somehow it is just too little too late, not that it bothers me! So, today at lunch, while accosting the husband of one of my best friends (he's a Dem, she's Republican) I just thought this should be the new Obama Theme. (Besides, it's just plain good music!)

When Narcissists Attack - Part II - A Convenient Untruth

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:45:51 -0600

MALKIN’S HATRED OF JOHN MCCAIN

When Aristotle defined hubris, he may have been thinking of Michelle Malkin.

"...Aristotle defined hubris as follows: to cause shame to the victim, not in order that anything may happen to you, nor because anything has happened to you, but merely for your own gratification. Hubris is not the requital of past injuries; this is revenge. As for the pleasure in hubris, its cause is this: men think that by ill-treating others they make their own superiority the greater...."

BARACK OBAMA’S LITTLE FRIENDS
This spring I’ve read several excellent books about Narcissists (Is Oprah Starting Her Own Cult) and people with severe personality disorders. I think one of the best is Snakes in Suits (Amazon link below). There is also Without Conscience. I’ve had problems in dealing with Narcissists and psychopaths for the past few months and felt I need to know a little about the subject. Sally Vee (thanks for the articles) sent me...

THE BEGINNING OF THE END?
Larry Johnson at No Quarter is heralding the End of Barack Obama. He thinks today’s debacle at the National Press Club is going to destroy Barack Obama’s chances. It isn’t going to help, that’s for sure. Johnson quotes a WPost piece:

“…Speaking before an audience that included Marion Barry, Cornel West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad, Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created ...

I Am Tired of Barack Obama’s Dog & Pony Show

SJ Reidhead — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 23:32:34 -0600

FAKE IS FAKE

I am sick and tired of Barack Obama. For awhile I allowed myself to be seduced into the possibility that I was simply being snarky about him, but I’ve realized that’s not the problem. He and his violate so many things I hold near and dear. I’ve decided, recently, that I’m no longer lowering my standards and being tolerant of alternative political ideals and actions. I believe what I believe. The man is an idiot. (Stop the ACLU) The man does not have the courage to take a stand on anything. I am tired of ...

John Fund’s take on Obama.

“…As a state legislator he was even more off-center. In 1996, he opposed the Defense of Marriage Act, which the Senate approved 85-14 and President Clinton signed into law. He twice voted "present" on a bill to ban partial-birth abortions. In 1999, he was the only state senator to oppose a law that prohibited early prison release for sex offenders.Mr. Obama also backed a total ban on handguns, a move his campaign now says was the result of a rogue aide filling out a questionnaire.

I’ve been collecting links about financing and John McCain’s funding problems. There are times when I like to do this and see what develops. I think today the Dems have revealed their hand when the filed suit to keep Big Mac on the public financing dole. In doing so they have revealed their game plan. HAMSTRING HIM ANY WAY POSSIBLE!

When in Rome – a Primer for Barack Obama

SJ Reidhead — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:31:20 -0600

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME

One of the things that bothers me about Barack Obama is his obvious lack of experience and his abject inexperience and immaturity even though he was born in 1961. Perhaps it is just our culture that coddles men now. Maybe it is his relative inexperience and the fact that he has lived a fairly sheltered existence, with little actual life experience – very little seasoning. I don’t know all the ups and downs of his life, all the little disappointments and heartaches. From his basic biography it is obvious he lived the life many kids ...

Am I being fair to him simply because he is a Democrat. My friend thinks Obama is a great man that I am treating unfairly. Is he? I am seriously trying to go after Obama only on the issues and the fact that I think he is a liar. Is he really a liar with shady friends, or am I nit-picking ...

What's In Your Resume? Are You a Foreign Policy Expert Like Obama?

SJ Reidhead — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 21:20:28 -0600

NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

Barack Obama’s “real life” experience reminds me of those ‘entry level’ classifieds where they are a front to get people to do commission only hard labor. “No experience necessary”. So the NYTimes has this piece where Obama says real life experience is more important than a life-time of foreign policy experience.

“…“Experience in Washington is not knowledge of the world,” he continued, provoking laughter among those present. “This I know. When Senator Clinton brags, ‘I’ve met leaders from 80 countries,’ I know what those trips are like. I’ve been on them. You go from the airport to ...

Special Racism & Special Little Lies

I have a lovely little accumulation of Barack Obama goodies. With each passing day it becomes more and more obvious this person lacks the character to be called a “man”. He has built a life and a political career on a house of cards and lies. When called to task he accuses everyone of racism. There comes a time when it’s like the little boy who cried wolf. I like the little boy analogy because there is no way you can consider Barack Obama ‘a real man’. I go back to my belief that Barack ...

Why Do the Dems Produce Such Flawed POTUS Candidates

SJ Reidhead — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 19:53:11 -0600

OR AM I JUST BIASED?

Are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama simply more of the same or am I so biased against the Dems I can’t see the logical truth? From my biased, uber-GOP version of the world, I don’t mind admitting I am biased, but it sure looks to me like we have been dealing with some seriously flawed individuals.

We Republicans have an arduous vetting process aided by the liberal press who delights in pointing out every little fault and frailty to the pint where anyone who even considers running as a Republican is out of their ...

I think these donations are set up on a credit card or bank payout system. Just start looking at them. Look at Feb 15, 2008. I see where people made a number of small donations that day. Why are there no donations from Tony Rezko? I don’t know how much to make of this since my donations to John McCain have not showed up, but my cousin’s $2300 to Hillary ...

Obama Plays Candyland While Big Mac Is a Chess Master!

THE MCCAIN CHESS GAME

You do realize John McCain is a chess player, thinking several moves ahead in the game. GWB is a poker player, and a good one. Barack Obama – well, he’s sure not a bowler. Obama’s more the Candlyland little kid who can’t handle criticism.

Take today for instance.

When a conservative radio talking head went for the jugular with Barack Obama at a John McCain rally, McCain immediately denounced him. Much weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth engulfed the conservative radio world as talk show hosts were quick to denounce Big Mac while they ...

Petraeus ... is one of the most talented, respected military commanders in our nation’s history. I’m confident he will tell us about the gains that have been achieved and the challenges which lie ahead,” Graham said. “I have no confidence Speaker Pelosi will ever accept anything coming out of Iraq other ...

The New Mexico Political Mess

SJ Reidhead — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 12:01:21 -0600

RICHARDSON STEPPED IN IT

Until his association with Barack Obama, Bill Richardson had a reputation for being self-deprecating and rather charming. New Mexico is a mess, politically. It is corrupt. It is dysfunctional. And, you’ve probably noticed even though it has one of the smallest populations of any state, it is usually the last state to have their vote count certified.

There’s a simple reason.

It takes awhile to get the vote count to match expectations and the pre-assigned winner. In other words, New Mexico is corrupt to the point where it redefines corruption. The corruption goes from the ...

Defining Racism Down

THUMBING THE NOSE ON RACISM

If there was a rational discussion about racism in this country, what Hispanics are experiencing and what my sister’s neighbor Steve Cohen (extremely liberal) is going through I think the rabble roused by Barack Obama would be a half way decent thing. The problem, though, is he is re-defining racism into something that it is not. No longer is racism a terrible, disgusting thing, but the new definition is any criticism of Barack Obama. It doesn’t matter if he deserves that criticism or not. Any commentary on Barack Obama’s character that comes from a person ...

I’m annoyed with conservatives who are so darn egotistical they don’t think John McCain is pure enough for them. I say annoyed with liberals who are so stupid….anyway – maybe we should have a new category – stupid conservatives.

Don’t these people realize if they do not vote for John McCain we are going to be doomed to a Barack Obama administration that will destroy the space program and all that we ...

Philippians 4:8

Maybe I am self-righteous and reactionary, but I’ve learned those words, written by St. Paul, nearly 2000 years ago still hold true. I was talking to a friend on the phone today. He mentioned how disgusted he was by Barack Obama and his acceptance of and apology for Jeremiah Wright, as a great man of ...

When Dems Control the World – Obama Would Be a Disaster!

NASA SUFFERS

The quest for space, both by NASA and private enterprise is the MOST IMPORTANT part of the future of humanity. Barack Obama, who plans to cut NASA back to nothing and basically eliminate manned exploration of space. This said, and in an effort to be fair, I am extremely disappointed with the NASA budget the White House delivered. I blame the far from satisfactory budgetary increases on conservatives who insist on cutting back on just about everything but their precious little pet projects.

Of all the government programs we dump money into, NASA is by far the ...
