Obama’s Soviet-Style information management

August 31, 2008

The Democratic party usually favors freedom of information. I’ve always liked Dems who fought for open government. Specifically, the Dems have been harshly critical of the Bush administration for its secrecy. However, it is quite obvious that Obama is not one of those Democrats. In fact, his campaign is probably the [...]

Stormfront

August 31, 2008

The racist ultra-right group, Stormfront is apparently linking to my site. I just wanted to issue an unambiguous statement regarding this group. I in no way want to make this anti-obama campaign a racial issue. I do not support the ideology of stormfront, and wish they would stop linking to my blog. [...]

Palin-McCain 2008!

August 29, 2008

I have mixed views about McCain’s pick. My prediction was Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, which I think could have flipped Minnesota to the Republican side. That still could happen even without Pawlenty, and it would be great to see a reliably Dem state go Red this year. Palin lacks experience and, by picking [...]

Obama+Gore=Snore

August 29, 2008

I tried watching the convention tonight and fell asleep either during or right after Al Gore. Boy, listening Gore compare Obama to Abraham Lincoln…that was something. The facts and delivery were highly unconvincing. In short, from what I could tell the Obama speech was driven by focus groups. I don’t accept [...]

The inanity and the insanity!

August 28, 2008

The parts of the DNC committee that I have seen have been largely lifeless and dull. The first two days were full of redundant and stale speeches by various politicos and they largely failed to energize the crowd. However, Denis Kucinich (The gadfly Vegan UFO fetishist) really got the faithful riled up. [...]

Obamas are stingy with their money, generous with other’s.

August 27, 2008

It is widely known that religious conservatives are the most generous segment of the population, while secular liberals are among the stingiest.  Barack and Michelle’s tax returns follow this pattern.  Until they were in the public eye, they gave insignificant amounts of money to charity, all the while attending the wonderful Trinity United Methodist Church [...]

Democratic Convention Day 1

August 26, 2008

I was listening to the start of the NPR coverage of the DNC and actually found myself getting ill. I just can’t listen to extended speeches where anyone (in this case Nany Pelosi) praises Barack Obama. Such is my level of disdain for BO. I certainly wasn’t going to listen to [...]

The Biden Selection-Fatal Final Blow for Obama

August 24, 2008

I was thrilled with Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as a running mate.  It all but guarantees a defeat for the Dems this November.  Biden brings tons of baggage including his own plagiarism scandal and plenty of public statements harshly critical of Obama’s inexperience.  Joe Biden is also the consummate shifty insider politician that doesn’t [...]

Obama praises Communist Government of China!

August 22, 2008

Here’s Obama extolling the virtues of China’s enlightened communist government.

This government that Obama says we should emulate recently sentenced two 70+ year old women to “re-education through hard labor” for daring to protest the seizure of their home “for the good of the people.” These women felt that they were [...]

Who’s questioning Obama’s patriotism?

August 20, 2008

I find it strange that Barack Obama’s main defense against McCain seems to be “How dare you question my patriotism.” Who but Obama is questioning his patriotism? Only a few people that keep obsessing about the absence of that ‘old glory’ lapel pin, but otherwise the attacks against Obama have to do with [...]
