Obama's Civilian Security Force

YouTube - Obama Civilian Security
A Civilian Security Force that is:

Just as strong as our military.
.... The "strength" of a military is generally summed up as it's size
.... so we're talking a 100 thousand or more members!

Just as powerful...
.... the "Power" of a military is generally related to it's weapons
.... so a group that is well armed!

Just as well funded
.... so we're talking Billions of dollars.


and what exactly will this large, heavily armed, group do?
.... I have no idea!

Obama Claus - Gifts for everone

Here is a rather long list of all the new spending Obama says he'll do

Just today in Sarasota, Fla., the Democratic presidential nominee said that he'd:

  • "give a tax break to 95 percent of Americans who work every day and get taxes taken out of their paycheck every week";
  • "eliminate income taxes on Social Security for seniors making under $50,000";
  • "give homeowners and working parents additional tax breaks";
  • not increase taxes on anyone if they "make under $250,000; you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime –- not your income taxes, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax";
  • "end those breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas";
  • "give tax breaks to companies that invest right here in the United States";
  • "eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-up companies that are the engine of job creation in this country";
  • "create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling roads, and bridges, and schools -- by laying broadband lines to reach every corner of the country";
  • "invest $15 billion a year in renewable sources of energy to create five million new energy jobs over the next decade";
  • "reopen old factories, old plants, to build solar panels, and wind turbines";
  • build "a new electricity grid";
  • "build the fuel efficient cars of tomorrow";
  • "eliminate the oil we import from the Middle East in 10 years";
  • "lower premiums" for those who already have health insurance;
  • "if you don't have health insurance, you'll be able to get the same kind of health insurance that members of Congress give themselves";
  • "end discrimination by insurance companies to the sick and those who need care the most";
  • "invest in early childhood education";
  • "recruit an army of new teachers";
  • "pay our teachers higher salaries, give them more support. But ... also demand higher standards and more accountability";
  • "make a deal with every young person who's here and every young person in America: If you are willing to commit yourself to national service, whether it's serving in our military or in the Peace Corps, working in a veterans home or a homeless shelter, then we will guarantee that you can afford to go to college no ifs ands or buts";
  • "stop spending $10 billion a month in Iraq whole the Iraqis have a huge surplus";
  • "end this war in Iraq";
  • "finish the fight and snuff out al Qaeda and bin Laden";
  • "increase our ground troops and our investments in the finest fighting force in the world";
  • "invest in 21st century technologies so that our men and women have the best training and equipment when they deploy into combat and the care and benefits they have earned when they come home";
  • "No more homeless veterans"; and
  • "no more fighting for disability payments."

This on top of his 30-minute infomercial last night, and the myriad other pledges and promises he's made throughout the last 21 months.

Why I'm Voting Democrat

I got this in an email from a Friend...

Why I'm Voting Democrat

  • I'm voting Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I've decided to marry my horse.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
  • I'm voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine… as long as nobody is offended by it.
  • I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq I trust that all the bad guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will rain this weekend or not somehow CAN tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.
  • I'm voting Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would NEVER get their agendas past the voters.
  • I'm voting Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my rear it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

Media Selectively Outraged by Campaign ‘Hate’

Pajamas Media » Media Selectively Outraged by Campaign ‘Hate’

Gateway Pundit has the photos of shirts calling Palin a word that normally would have feminist types clamoring for blood. But as Palin is a conservative, all bets — and common decency — are off.
See here for a list of the "hate" from the left... and it goes unreported most of the time...

The “Ideology-Free” Election of 2008

GayPatriot » The “Ideology-Free” Election of 2008

"If people voted this year on which party’s general philosophy more closely matched their own view of government, John McCain would win in a walk"

So as Rush Limbaugh would say, this election is about STYLE over SUBSTANCE. Obama's got Style in spades, but McCain's got substance... not that it matters... [This Post Continues after the jump...]

Obama's Tax Cuts = "Welfare"

Obama plans to "cut" the taxes of the 46 millions Americans that pay NO Income tax. How? How can he "cut" zero? by giving away money, that's how. People that pay NO TAXES will get what is called a "refund". It's not really a refund or a tax cut because they paied no taxes, so its just free oney.. i.e. "welfare"

If it just wanted to say he plan on increasing no strings attached welfare payments, that would be one thing, but disguising it as tax related is just silly, and dishonest.

State By State Voter Fraud List

This is will only grow...

but does anyone care?

GayPatriot » State By State, Fraud By Electoral Fraud [This Post Continues after the jump...]

ACORN voter fraud proven

This is great..
I think the left talked too much about how Bush "Stole" both the 2000 and 2004 election. It was great for whipping up support and bashing bush, but some of their supporters actually believed it and are acting similarly now. If Bush supporters did it (and got away with it) then they can do it too, right? The only problem is they are getting caught. Bush supports never got caught, which strongly suggests to me that no one cheated in 2000 or 2004, but conspiracy theories will still prevail.

My only concern is that NO ONE CARES. There will be actual evidence that Obama supporters stole (or tried to steal) this election, but no one will care. We've heard so much about how the republicans have done it (despite no evidence) that a lot of people think it's OK and expected now.

Our Democracy is indeed in trouble...

If Elected, Obama will be "My President" ?

Dang, if that's not going to be hard to do!
I don't go for bumper stickers or t-shirts much, so no one will really know how I truly feel. And a lot of it will depend on Obama himself and how he governs. He talks about unity a lot, but I fear once elected he will govern from the left. He has done nothing to really tempt me to vote for him other than vague promises of "change". I fear he will change things for the worse.

What Obama and McCain won’t tell you

Very interesting...

It's going to get harder
It's going to take longer
Not everyone should own a home
Borrowers share some of the blame (not just the predatory lenders)
Your home isn't worth what you think it is
Taxes will eventually go up
Learn about how money works before you complain
.. and more

Gay Marriage Is Issue Candidates Would Rather Avoid
