A hate crime is generally defined as a crime against a minority because they are a minority.  Example, hanging Obama in effigy is a hate crime because he is half-black and therefore a member of the black minority.  Two students were recently arrested and charged with a hate crime in Kentucky for the hanging of an effigy of Obama.

It is not a hate crime to hang in effigy a white person, specifically Gov. Palin, who was hung in effigy in West Hollywood, CA.  In fact, it was okay for tour buses to drive by and for people to take photos, etc.  Local sheriff’s department said that while it may be in bad taste, it was not a crime.

Logic here:  It is a hate crime to hang in effigy a minority person.

It is not a hate crime to hang in effigy a white person.

Therefore:  It is not a crime to hate a white person, but it is a crime to hate a minority.

Something very wrong here with this law.  Hate is hate, and if we are going to have “hate” crimes, then the law should apply to people of all races and groups; have a little law equal opportunity.  There are blacks that hate whites, there are Hispanics that hate whites, there are Blacks who hate Hispanics, there are Asians who hate Hispanics, and whites who hate one group or the other, and let’s not even start listing the groups ad infinitum.  You cannot selectively aim a law at the emotions of one race or group but not at another.  To do so denies the equality of the races or groups , and makes some races or groups more capable of hate than others, makes some races or groups emotionally defective, therefore a sub-race.

But, that is what has happened in the last forty years.  Minorities and groups have been granted special rights and privileges based on historical white guilt, not on the basis of individual rights or individual achievements.

Laws have been enacted that blatantly discriminate against one race or group in favor of other races or group(s).  For one, I am tired of being discriminated against by law.

Obama stated that there were, “only five more days to fundamentally transform America!“  I thought we were doing pretty well.  What will he transform it into?  Every thing points at a repressive, Socialist government run by an authoritative,self-absorbed, “dear” leader.

The past few days and weeks have seen Obama continually attack the fundamental freedoms in America.  He is for redistribution of wealth, which is forbidden by the Constitution, you can’t take one person’s property without fair recompense, and you really can’t take it and just give it away to another.  He has attacked the character of those who challenge him, he has blacklisted TV stations and newspapers, two of his lackeys in Congress have attacked the retired military for trying to inform the public on how the war is going.  They are trying to stifle the views of these retired personnel, they are crushing opposing newspapers and TV stations, they attack individuals and their spouses, and they are going to bring the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” to the radio waves.  This “Fairness Doctrine” was supposed to balance reporting on the radio, giving equal time to opposing viewpoints.  Unfortunately, radio is a private enterprise where content is driven by advertising on popular programs.  The liberal left has yet to find a commentator that can draw a crowd sufficiently large to entice advertisers to pay for it.  The “Fairness Doctrine” would require radio stations to provide the same amount of time for someone, say, opposing Rush Limbaugh, the King of Conservative entertainment on the air.  This would mean a radio station would basically have to donate three hours a day for a program that would draw no advertising revenue for the station.  Rather than do this, the station would cut back on Rush’s time and just play music; in effect, the conservative entertainment would be hushed, suppressed, and defeated. None of this is part of the First Amendment.

Obama doesn’t care.  He will not appoint jurists who judge things based on the Constitution.  He will abuse freedom on the press (he threw three newspaper reporters off his plane today, all three papers had endorsed McCain), he has voted to prosecute people who use firearms in their own self-defense, he wants to re-distribute the hard earned money of successful people and give it to those less successful, and he wants unions to have visible votes instead of secret ballot voting.

He has told his workers to “get in the face of those who disagree”.  He will set up an organization of community workers in every community (brown shirts?  Arm bands with the “Rising O” on them?).  He will stifle human initiative and suppress dissent across the country.

YOU MUST GET OUT AND VOTE!  Tuesday is a crucial day.  Vote for a Free America!

Recently I blogged on Joe Biden’s comments that Obama would be tested by the world in his first six months as President.  Biden went on to ask Democratic backers to be prepared to stand behind Obama despite the fact that they might not like Obama’s decision.  I jumped up and proposed two possible tests, one an attack on Israel by Iran with Obama standing neutral, a decision that most Democrats and Americans would think would be wrong.  The other, the occupation of Georgia by Russia, again with Obama standing by with no action.  At the time, I thought those were the most likely issues.

Today, I was reminded on the news that the next Biden quote after asking folks to stand behind Obama, was that “you will find out that this man has a spine of steel.”  That got me to thinking.

If you follow the three items, the unpopular decision, standing behind him even though most did not like the decision, and finding out about the “spine of steel”, you can come to a very startling and opposite conclusion.  It is possible that, Obama, to prove his mettle as commander-in-chief, might order a surgical nuclear strike on Iranian nuclear targets.

This strike would definitely be one that 99.9% of Americans would disagree with, and one, that only blind support for, would allow Obama to remain in office. It fits all of Biden’s statements.

This is scary, and follows the psychology of new, wet-behind-the-ears, military leaders, i.e., the need to look tough and the subsequent foolish over-reaction to a situation.

I believe that should this happen, Obama would be impeached within six weeks, an incredibly fast time for our congress to do anything other than urinate on their shoes.

Read this posting as they quote liberally from Obama’s own writings as to how he chose his friends in college, and the activities he later participated in. Obama is a Marxist.

How can people close their ears and shut their eyes to the truth?

This morning in Pennsylvania, Obama declared that every business had to consider how to take care of its community, and workers, even those it laid off for business reasons. He wants businesses to put community efforts and welfare efforts into its operating budget.

He wants 2 million more jobs building infra-structure in America (sounds like the WPA from Roosevelts time.)

He wants every child to have a college education… free!!! He doesn’t realize that every child is not mentally equipped for college. Even if they were, who would flip the burgers or fight our wars if everyone went to college. Community service would equal a college education, who pays for that?

Foreign policy, some changes will cost money. How to pay? We will save $10 billion a month after getting out of Iraq, we’ll spend some of that in Pennsylvania creating jobs. He promises a line-by-line look at the federal budget and will save money there.

After listening to all he says, he has promised everything to everyone. He promises programs that will costs billions of dollars, and plans on doing it on 120 billion a year. Hate to tell him, but his trillion dollar approach doesn’t make sense on 120 billion a year.

I’m just disgusted that so many Americans are voting with their emotions and not trying to figure out how he will keep his costly promises without major tax increases.

If you love the chance to make something of yourself, if you hate governmental mandates to give your money to those who don’t or won’t work, you need to vote Republican.

Looking at the Drudge Report today, I came across two Obama audio clips.

One clip from 2001 states that during the Civil Rights Era the Supreme Court should have addressed the issue of redistribution of wealth (mandated redistribution) much as it did with bussing of students. This clip doesn’t discuss whether redistribution is right or wrong, just how would be the best way to do it. It is a clear statement that he believes in Redistribution of Wealth, a classic Marxist and Socialist belief. He calls the Constitution a negative document specifying what the states can’t do and what the nation can’t do to the people (generally known as the principles of individual freedom), instead of what the government should do for the people (a classic Socialist tenet of having the government take care of you). He calls community organizing the way to establish a power base that can make redistribution a reality.

In the second clip he clearly states that he thinks the Constitution is flawed, and has been from the very beginning because it doesn’t address the redistribution of wealth.

Democrats are idolizing a man who believes that the hard working successful people should be punished by taking away more of their money and giving it to the people who are working as hard, but don’t have the capability to succeed. They are drooling over a man who doesn’t believe in the constitution of the United States and lied when he vowed to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Come to think about it, that sort of makes him an enemy of the constitution.

Watch out for a movement for at least one Constitutional Amendment in his four year term.

You remember Joe Biden? He’s the running mate of Barack Obama. The other day he made a speech in which he basically said that in the first six months of Obama’s presidency, there would be a world crisis of some sort which would “test” Obama. He then said to his backers that Obama would make a decision a lot of them would not support, but he asked them to stay the line and they would see later that Obama would be right.

A radio show today had a caller who asked, ” What does Obama and Biden know?” He then postulated the question, “What decision would seem wrong to most Americans?” His answer was simple, not backing Israel against an Iranian attack. Another possible answer, letting the Russians swarm into Georgia.

In both cases, sitting by and doing nothing would be to dump an ally to the mercies of cruel and ruthless regimes. Having dumped one ally, how could the rest of them ever depend on us again?

So, the question is, “What plans have Obama and Biden made for foreign contingencies?”

In an article in The Meridian Magazine’s Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights? by Democrat Orson Scott Card, a newspaper columnist, the Journalistic profession is taken to task for selling its soul to the liberal left.

I beg everyone to at least read the article. Here is a journalist castigating his professional cohorts.
A few paragraphs:

“I remember reading All the President’s Men and thinking: That’s journalism. You do what it takes to get the truth and you lay it before the public, because the public has a right to know.

This housing crisis didn’t come out of nowhere. It was not a vague emanation of the evil Bush administration.

It was a direct result of the political decision, back in the late 1990s, to loosen the rules of lending so that home loans would be more accessible to poor people. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were authorized to approve risky loans.

As Thomas Sowell points out in a TownHall.com essay entitled “Do Facts Matter?” ( http://snipurl.com/457townhall_com] ): “Alan Greenspan warned them four years ago. So did the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to the President. So did Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury.”

These are facts. This financial crisis was completely preventable. The party that blocked any attempt to prevent it was … the Democratic Party. The party that tried to prevent it was … the Republican Party.

Yet when Nancy Pelosi accused the Bush administration and Republican deregulation of causing the crisis, you in the press did not hold her to account for her lie. Instead, you criticized Republicans who took offense at this lie and refused to vote for the bailout!”

This article is important because it lists the facts, and the truth that you will never hear from the news media.

Maybe 60 years old or more, this video cartoon is something that all Americans, whether Democrats or Republicans should see.

This is important to view through to the end. It includes freedom, management, labor, farm and congressional views.

Thank you Mr. Pinkeyes!

I would like to congratulate India on their successful launch of their two-year mission to the Moon.  It is wonderful that we have a new nation entering space exploration, an endeavor so vast that only through international cooperation and mutual support will we successfully conquer space.

The mission of mapping the elements and materials of the Moon will bring work for scientists for years to come and is vital to anyone contemplating a Moon base, either as a way-station to the planets or as a resource of rare and vital materials.

I lift my glass to toast the many scientist and other workers who made this possible.  Cheers!
