Conservative Blog Political Potpourri, 5/8/08

She Needs a Fork! Or Does She?

I say Hillary is done. So do most others paying attention, at this point

Hillary failed to show strong enough in Indiana, and Obama cleaned her clock in North Carolina. This puts her campaign now officially into “sputtering but indignantly fighting to still seat Florida and Michigan” mode.

The DNC is left now with the task of cleaning up their pathetic mess created by Howard Dean concerning their fumbling attempt to punish those two States. Were it not for Dean and Florida/Michigan, I am not sure Obama would have survived to this point. More on that below, and how the scars from Wright would have made a difference earlier.

The aftermath will be interesting to watch, because they have to unite a party now. How do they create a situation where Hillary can get out honorably? Can the loser lose graciously at this point?

I think not, and- wait a minute… nope, now the news is that Hillary will stay IN and fight! Wow… what gall. I suppose in the coming days we will learn more about what her intentions are, but I suspect she will NOT take this to Denver, even though there are reports she is still intent on doing so. I hope she does, and I hope the Florida/Michigan issue gets more traction, but I am betting the pressure mounts in her party for her to get out soon, very soon.

The real problem with Florida and Michigan is that the DNC needs to find a way to fairly dis-enfranchise voters. Not sure this can be done. But if any party can pull off such a amoral solution and sell it back to their own idiots, the left surely can.

Obama-Nation an Abomination

FIrst, let me say this. Obama would not be the candidate had the most recent rounds of Jeremiah Wright and his connections with others (William Ayers) been more prominently exposed in the early days of this campaign. Period.

That being said, what do we have to look forward to with an Obama Nation?

An Obama Nation would treat the war in Iraq like they treat abortion. If you don’t like a situation or find it inconvenient, just kill it and flush it down the toilet. The problem with this baby (the war) is that unlike fetuses, aborting this one will not make it go way, and we will ultimately have to lose more lives in a more unstable middle east in the future.

An Obama Nation will increase, rapidly, taxes on all. Their story will be that it will be the rich and business, but this will easily be explained clearly to all Americans that his tax increases will hit all harshly. For example, raising capital gains taxes sounds like it would hit only the rich- but a high percentage of all capital gains are income for people who are far from rich.

An Obama Nation would open dialog with terrorist regimes and leaders. This is a path down the road of weakness and our foreign policy for years has recgonized that “negotiating” with terrorists gives them credibility and clout that they cannot otherwise achieve on their own.

There are a lot of other issues we will have to address in the coming months, but let’s just say that with the eventual fall of Hillary, Obama looks like a good straw man to have as an opponent. All we will have to contend with is idiotic Hollywood-like, ga-ga over hype ideologues without any common sense, and a black electorate that votes 92% when dealing with Obama.

McCain would be wise to attack Obama on lack of experience and poor judgement. He can use video of Hillary making the same claims against Obama. How convenient.

McCain’s more middle of the road stance is likely going to be the achilles heel of this race for the Democrat party. His appeal across the aisle may just be enough to undermine either candidate.

Are we receiving the gift of the most inexperienced Democrat Candidate with the farthest left stance, and carrying the scars of racist Jeremiah Wright? I’ll take that gift.

Thanks Howard Dean!

If you have not seen it, this link is worth a look:

Who is Obama?

Report: Leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq Arrested

Reports are fresh at this time of the arrest of Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, in Mosul. Still awaiting confirmation.

This of course is a blow to Al Qaeda, and a great accomplishment for a country that has to prove it can not only defend itself against insurgents, but also show that it can police itself without corruption undermining their ability to exercise political authority.

This is also a blow to the left.

Hey. Wait a minute… Al Qaeda isn’t even IN Iraq, according to the left! More to come, likely…

There Are 5 Responses So Far. »

  1. I’m hoping that Hillary is done, and an era where the Democrats/liberals polarize around the Clintons. Most other prominent Democrats, as flawed as they are, are lesser evils in comparison.

    As much as we should be concerned about an Obama presidency, Hillary Clinton would also carry out the same policies that Obama would as mentioned, and in addition, more the same dishonesty in the White House we had already seen during her husband’s administration.

    Although I currently live in Washington (state), I’m a native Midwesterner - a native of Indiana - and I’m aware that Hillary Clinton would have a better chance at winning Midwestern states in the general election than Obama - except for Illinois - where there are a large number of working class whites. One state which has been historically crucial for a Republican presidential candidate to win is Ohio.

  2. I’m on facebook.com and posted my thoughts on the Bush Administration and Iraq under the Bush supporter page. Many of those who became “supporter” did so just to bash him and his Iraq policy. It’s fine if they wish to bash him, but a point I wish to make now is that those who do bash him often have little more substance beyond saying things like “fuck Bush” or “burn in hell Bush”, etc. More “credible” statements show only a small and often distorted portion of a larger issue, or what I often refer to as the “big picture”. These often show the views indicating that “Bush lied”, the war was for oil, Bush’s selfish interests, etc., and these people often paint a picture that Saddam Hussein was no threat, harbored no terrorists, and what it comes to is that they demonstrate that they think that Hussein was a lesser evil than Bush is.

    Such juvenile approaches and narrow views give more credibility to the Bush Administration than the discredit and demonize him and his actions. I’m not writing this to show support to Bush, but I want to show more clearly these critics are often doing the supporters, whether conservatives or not, a favor when you come to think of it by showing their lack of what I’ll refer to as intelligence.

  3. This is from a post from Facebook.com, the first statement obviously from an anti-Bush person, and then my response. Just a follow-up to my earlier post:

    “Its funny how we anti-Bush people have something smart to contribute while the Bush supporters, for the most, just praise and bash anyone with an actual decent argument.”

    I wasn’t sure how to react - maybe some other Bush supporter could react better, I thought, but I’ll say that statemtent may be the opinions of anti-Bush people, but I see that a lot of arguments against Bush are speculative and simply the opinions of the anti-Bush camp. Maybe this war is not against terror, according to some people, and although I may not be able to prove that it is, I also don’t see proof that it’s not.

    I’m not commenting on why I support Bush - I haven’t seen any arguments against Bush that are any smarter than those that support him.

  4. You need proof that the war isn’t neccessarily against terror? Look at the companies that have just returned to set up shop in Iraq. They are the same ones that were removed when Hussein made oil a government enterprise. You guessed it. ExxonMobil, Chevron and a few others. Is it a coincidence that Bush is an oil tycoon as well as his Saudi buddies? Or that these companies will now be making the money they used to have to pay to the Iraqi government? Get off the Bush bandwagon. It’s a slow train to oblivion.

  5. God himself supports America going into Iraq… Worldwide discovery and publication has just hit hard.. see www.eternaltruth.net
    I dare you to prove this biblical discovery false..You will fail!

    I have personally questioned many christians as to why they have turned against George Bush as well as the Iraq war when normally they would support conservative causes. The unpopularity of the president and the war have affected christian conservative support. Why? These christians have been greatly influenced by the “Left Behind” books and popular movies which most christians have witnessed on CD, DVD, or have read the books. Today, there has never been anything larger in the christian market than the “Left Behind series” which interprets biblical prophecy and demonizes Iraq as the location for the city of Babylon being raised as the last evil empire.

    The premise of the book is built around the idea that Iraq and ancient Babylon are literally the seat of the coming anti christ and will soon become headquarters for the United nations. The obvious clue is that America is therefore assisting anti christ by helping Iraq grow into an industrialized political power.
    Some christians wrongly conclude that our soldiers are currently dying for the anti christ and not for future freedom.
    The worst conclusion possible is that American blood with tax payer support are secretly supporting the anti christ and his future throne. Like it or not there are many christians wondering if this is true prophecy. This christian publication is just as anti american as any terrorist production and even more dangerous to our national unity because it pretends to have a biblical foundation.
    No wonder Obama is working hard to capture christian support during this election! If “Left Behind” truly represents Bible prophecy then Obama must be doing Gods will by declaring the war a major mistake. His support of Gay marriage and abortion or his promise to stack liberal judges on the courts are easily over looked if he can stop America from supporting the anti christ… I appeal to your patriotism by helping me to make this information known!
    This biblical spin is a serious problem christians who are benefiting refuse to face up to because it is a New York times best seller.
    We cannot as christians put our bottom line above our christian principals?
    Please Help me overturn this “Left behind” deception! Why?
    This coming election is far too important! The 2006 election demonstrates
    what happens when conservatives are divided by ideology and theological
    differences. We lost both the house and the senate and may lose white
    house.
    Are you not tired of hearing christians lump Bush and Iraq into some wild new
    world order plot? Such ideologies make the conservatives the bad guys and not the liberals.
    Christian belief in such false ideologies may soon hand the democrats
    a supreme court willing to go to war against christians and take away our liberties in
    ways we cannot yet imagine!

    Christian bookstores are hurting American unity during war time by selling books of biblical fiction that are dangerous because they may be turning voting Christians against our troops in Iraq. “Left Behind” is a fictional book. This book fosters Christian division and discourages support for our troops in Iraq. Compounding such confusing information we thre are large numbers of christians becoming the audience for the 9/11 conspiracies which teach that our government caused the attacks on 9/11.
    Recently published biblical books supporting the Iraq war experience great difficulty to even be heard against the lies that are spread in the media and most Christian bookstores.
    There is a new book, “Bible Prophecies of 9 - 11,” that is actually based on the entire Bible context, which will expose Obama, or anyone who opposes the war in Iraq. The premise supporting this book’s thesis are actual Bible verses which reveal God’s latter-day promises to Nebuchadnezzar. Your own Bible predicts Iraq is to become a free nation through the assistance of (America’s) eagle’s wings in the latter days. (see Daniel chapter 4) Obama and others are exposed by such knowledge because they oppose America’s good will and support our enemies who also declare that the war in Iraq was a big mistake. The terrorists also want America out of Iraq and openly and publically favor Obama for president. “Bible Prophecies of 9 - 11″ refutes the propaganda and the damage being done to our country by books like “Left Behind.”

    I believe that these “Left Behind” books and DVD’s make it easier for Obama to turn Christians against the positive efforts of our military achievements in Iraq. Obama is currently working hard to get the Christian vote by flip flopping on issues and capitalizing on a lack of Christian unity over Iraq. Ficticious renditions like “Left Behind” teach Christians that America is setting up modern Babylon so the anti Christ can rule the world directly from the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq. Such false and unfounded interpretations of prophecy seem to identify America as supporting this great evil that Christians must certainly oppose! They forget that God cursed Babylon through the prophet Isaiah, that it should never again rise to a world power! (see Isaiah 13:19) Babylon today is a universal term for ungodly activity not central to Iraq alone. Unfortunately the econemy and the Iraq war are today the number one issues within this critical election year.
    If America is helping to prepare Iraq for the seat of the anti Christ then Obama appears to represent Gods opposition to such evil. This means we must support a future supreme court which supports Gay marriage, abortion, and christian persecution increasing in America. Is “Left Behind” teachings about Babylon in Iraq Gods will or Satans false doctrine?

    Such biblical deception does not happen you say? Remember Y2K prophecy books which turned out to be a terrible loss for millions on new years day when nothing happened! We all remember our Christian friends who spent their life savings because they believed all of the Christian leaders publications were true prophecy. “Left Behind” is THE LATEST false alarm spreading unfounded prophecies.

    Why do honest Christians not challenge such bogus information which spreads such blatantly unbiblical doctrines? These “Left Behind” books are currently selling in dollar stores because Christians are losing interest in the same old negative conspiracy song which fosters darkness and hides the light. But the damage has already been done!

    A new and more accurate biblical understanding is available which supports America and refutes the false theories which support America’s enemies. Check out this news and confirm the information and get it to believers before the coming election! If you own a Christian bookstore the patriotic thing to promote is America’s success in Iraq, and not its failure. You do not want to be spreading the notion that our soldiers representing all races and religions in America have given their lives for the anti christ. Inform all Christian Book Stores that by selling “Left Behind” books they are supporting Obama and aiding our enemies. www.eternaltruth.net

    The first part of the video is a little bit slow because you do not realize what all of the clues are leading up too. There are four short videos in part 1,2,3,4. about nine minutes or so. Do not skip any of the four segments or you may forget the clues first given and later forget their applications in videos 2,3,4.
