Plan for Obama Zombies

With the election over, some on the Conservative side suffered from Post Election Trauma Syndrome (PETS). It was mostly sadness at the direction the country has chosen. We are over it now. The richness of our lives is before us. We will still work to improve the country.

However, there is a much more serious problem among Obama supporters. Apparently, they were too taken in by the cult of personality surrounding The Messiah. And now, post election, they are realizing they have no idea what they actually want him to do. They invested so much emotion into the election, the reality of the aftermath is more than they can bear. This sad news story tells the tale. Please, show your concern for your fellow citizens and do watch.

I am thinking of starting an advice column - First letter

While I am not always the best listener, people have told me, from time to time, that I do give good advice. I have been thinking, in addition to my blog, I might start an advice column. Below is a sample letter, and my advice. Do you think I have what it takes?

To: Rob's Advice Column

Dear Rob,

I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with the neighbor's daughter. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor's daughter is 22. We have been married for 10 years.

When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having an affair for 6 months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed & worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore.

Can you please help?
Sincerely
Fran

From: Rob's Advice Column :
Dear Fran

A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that you did not run out of gas, and that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solve the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.

I hope this helps,
Rob,

This is funny - but, not really that funny

If you have been paying attention, you know that Rahm Emanuel has been selected by the Messiah to be his Chief of Staff. Now, you might ask, so what? Well, the so what is that the CoS really does a lot to set the tone as to how an administration works with Congress, as well as the Cabinet.

IMHO, Emanuel is a thug. People can try to laugh off his noteworthy use of profanity, and record of boorish behaviour. But, that is probably not wise. This man is now the gatekeeper for who gets to see the President. Take Hillary, for example. You read that she has been promised 'open access' to Dear Leader. Yah - let me know how that works out for her. Emanuel will exercise HIS power over everyone by deciding who can wee The One, when, and for what purpose.

His history of being vindictive is well known. You honestly think he will be prone to 'work together to find solutions'? Well, I have my doubts. I will reserve judgement for a while, but given the power this man will wield, I am not holding my breath.

This is a short video (tip of the hat to Scott at Conservatism Today giving SNL's take on Rahm. As Scott notes - the comedians, after having been so brutal to GW, are probably going to pick on those around Dear Leader. Too risky, I guess, to take him on directly!!

Redefining the 2nd Amendment - NOT necessary

George Will has a column where he basically asserts that the 2nd amendment is rather 'ambiguous'. To wit:

When rights are unambiguously enumerated, courts should protect them vigorously. But Wilkinson says that when a right's definition is debatable, generous judicial deference should be accorded to legislative judgments -- particularly those of the states, which should enjoy constitutional space to function as laboratories for testing policy variations".

Now, in general, I tend to like George. But, sorry George, you are dead wrong in your assertion that the 2nd amendment is ambiguous. The tired argument that the 'militia' clause somehow dilutes the right to keep and bear arms (RKBA) by defining it as a 'collective' right was finally, officially, debunked in Heller. Any honest analysis knew this long ago. People, rights are not 'collective'. Rights are, and always have been, individual. The right to speak, to vote, to be secure in our homes, etc. The only reason to assert the 2nd is collective, was because you did not like that right being in the hands of individuals...period.

I wish the court had been stronger in striking down gun laws. But, alas, George was correct in noting that the most important word on the court is 'Five'. I suspect had Heller been worded any more strongly, it would not have gotten to 'Five'.

So now, we will be treated to an endless string of cases about bullshit restrictions. Trigger locks? What type of gun? How many? Can you have one within 100 feet of this building or that building? The failed, so-called, Assault Weapons ban will almost certainly be re-instated.

The most troubling restriction of the new law:

Private transfer of so-called Assault Weapons will be prohibited.

Now, you ask, why is this so troubling? Well, how will this provision be enforced? Since there is no record of what guns a person may or may not currently own, how will the Jack Booted Thugs of the ATF know a gun was transferred? Simple - you will see a national gun registration requirement flow 'logically' following HR1022.

The 'logic' that will be used:

• Private transfers are forbidden
  
• We need to enforce this
  
• We need to have a list of guns that you own so that we can identify if one has been illegally transferred.
  
• Therefore, we require you to register all your guns
  
• If we find that you did not register one - you will go to jail
  
• When the time comes that we simply ban ownership (Like happened in Australia, England, Canada) we will know what you have
  
• If you don't turn it in - you will go to jail

The other aspect of the law is the use of the phrase

"that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General."

This is playing to the Politically Correct, but completely INCORRECT notion that the 2nd has something to do with self-defense or hunting. It does NOT. It is to allow armed citizens to be the last line of defense against the GOVERNMENT. Sorry if that makes you squirm. Deal with it. Having the AG, working for the Government, determine what guns are ok is the ultimate Fox-Hen House mentality.

In his article, Will makes the assertion that, with the 2nd, the Legislature should be given wide latitude to make law. As a general rule, I am all for the Legislature having precedence over the court. However, where the Constitution tells the Government HANDS OFF (as in 'shall not be infringed') - then it is the courts job to tell the Legislature to go pound salt.

After the shooting in Texas at a Luby's, one of the survivor testified before the Senate. About 4 minutes into the video, she tells the stunned Senators that the 2nd was not about hunting or self defense. It was about defending ourselves from all of 'you' - as she pointed to the vaunted Senators! You go!!!



As our Dear Leader gets ready to take office, I just pray that we will not experience first hand what the 2nd is REALLY all about.

Getting time to lock and load?

Well - it starts on yet another front. The liberty getting ready to collapse under our Dear Leader: The Right to Keep and Bear Arms. This prediction is coming from Dear Leaders nomination of Eric Holder as Attorney General. This is just another in a string of disasters: Henry Rivera as FCC Commissioner, poised to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine; Robert Kennedy Jr. being considered to head the EPA; Henry 'I never met an investigation I did not like' Waxman to head the Energy and Commerce Committee in the House (not actually an appointment of the Messiah - but done with his encouragement); and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State (won't those people, the Clintons, EVER leave?).

Holder, just like BHO, has been openly hostile to the RKBA (Right to Keep and Bear Arms) for a long time.

Both supported the DC handgun ban. Also, during his time in the Illinois State Senate, BHO voted against a bill (S.B. 2165 (IL 2004)) that was designed to protect citizens who rightfully defended themselves from unjust gun possession charges.

Earlier this year, Holder filed an amicus brief in the Heller decision. Holder argued:

• For the total ban on handguns in DC
  
• Against the right of self defense using a firearm
  
• The the RKBA is a collective, not an individual right

Now, Heller was decided AGAINST Holder's position, but as AG, you can bet he will argue for its reversal at the first opportunity.

Holder testified in favor of the failed so-called 'Assault Weapons Ban' in 1999. In a sad meeting of the minds, at a 2007 meeting of the so-called Violence Policy Center, The Messiah said:

"My first priority will be to reinstate the assault weapons ban as soon as I take office."

In the past, Holder has:

• Advocated federal licensing of handgun owners
• A three day waiting period on handgun sales
  
• Supported rationing handgun sales to no more than one per month
  
• Called for a gun show restriction bill that would have given the federal government the power to shut down all gun shows
  
• Called for National gun registration
  
• Called for Mandatory prison sentences for trivial offenses
  
• Called for the ATF to have, and keep, a record of every firearm sale.

So, if you have any interest in the Second Amendment, this is one scary dude. Tyrants of various stripes in the past have started the suppression of the populace by disarming them. One must hope this is not the case here. But, I do not endorse hope as a strategy. So, I must take a break from blogging for a bit. I will be taking inventory of my bullets, and replenishing as needed.

Oh yah, In the words of that great Seger-o Spiritual

Time to Lock and Load
Time to get control
Time to search the soul
And start again

A bit of a funk

I have been in a bit of a funk since the election win by BHO (aka Dear Leader). I wonder if I need medication? Well, besides the Whiskey I have been consuming.

I have been burdened for years by not having a 'diagnosis' I can call my own. In my sphere of folks close to me, I see depression, bi-polar, ADD/ADHD, borderline personality, and a good does of narcissism.

But what about ME? The closest I have come was actually suggested by Rush. It is known as DADS. That is Disorder Anxiety Disorder Syndrome. It is basically an anxiety disorder brought on by not having a disorder. It really sucks. There is no one you can talk to, except other sufferers of DADS. Because, everyone with a 'real' disorder is always telling you how lucky you are!! Yah, like that helps.

So, I have decided to appeal to whatever medical board will listen. I think they should official recognize 'PETS'. That is Post Election Trauma Syndrome.


The symptoms?

• Sadness that America is so lost that it actually elected BHO, aka The One, The Messiah, Dear Leader.
  
• Increased consumption of adult beverages at even the thought of politics
  
• Decreased, though temporary, interest in Blogging
  
• Avoidance of the news media, even more than normal, for fear of seeing yet another Clinton era re-tread getting appointed to a Cabinet post
  
• Irrational (well, maybe not) sense of foreboding as one sees the new administration taking shape.
  
• Irrational (well, probably not) fear of the loss of talk radio to the tyranny of the fairness doctrine.

I hope this PETS thing only lasts 2 years - at which time, I hope, sanity returns and we get a Republican majority back in Congress. In the meantime, I guess I will continue to self-medicate with Jamesons.

PETS sufferers of the World Unite!!!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

In the aftermath of the election, not enough has been made of the piss poor job the press did in covering all of the candidates with the same fervor and fairness. You might think the job the press does is not really important. Well - it had an impact.

Zogby did a poll that showed how much negative people absorbed from the press about Republicans, and how little that knew at all about any Democrats. It is anecdotal I agree, but it does show the power of the press - especially when it is mis-used.

Here are some results of the survey (with a tip of the hat to Scott at Conservatism Today).

• 57.4 could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
  
• 81.8 could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
  
• 82.6 could NOT correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
  
• 88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
  
• 56.1 % could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
  

But, these people did get some info from the press.

• Only 13.7% failed to identify Palin as the person their party spent $150,000 in clothes on
  
• Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
  
• And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
  

Net result? Well, the Washington Post finally did admit that they were in the tank for Dear Leader, Obama, the Healer. And by seeing all of the layoffs happening in the print media, it seems that the public is figuring out the scam. And that is fine.

But, the damage is done. People were very badly misinformed prior to the election. It appears to have been a deliberate dis-information campaign on the part of the press - and it worked.

Now, that is not to say it is the reason that the Dear Leader won. The Republican incompetence cannot be over-stated. Plus, the appeal of electing a 'new' kind of politician may still have proven overwhelming.

But, having said that, shame on the MSM for the one-sided, slanted job they did in covering the election. Shame on you and a pox upon all your houses.

Failing to learn the lessons of History

In my timely and insightful post right after the election, I posited that we needed to rebuild the Republican party as a Conservative party once again.

Sadly, according to this article, the leadership of the House Republicans do not agree. Not that this is particularly shocking - just disheartening.

The House caucus re-elected Boehner as their leader. Oh boy. Boehner has never been a conservative. He was in the House leadership in the run-up to losing the majority in the House in 2006. He was the leader of the House Republicans the last 2 years.

What has he learned? Not much it seems. Those of us conservatives realize that we, as Republicans, have lost our way. We became that which we complained about. Our 'leaders'?. They lost control of spending, they signed on to the Medicare Prescription drug plan, they went wobbly on the border, the appeared to buy into the man-made global warming farce. In short, they have acted as though they were ashamed of the Conservative label. As Dr. Phil says, 'How is that working out for you?' They became more liberal - and they are now out of power.

And now, you hear chirping that we need to 'move to the middle'. Or 'find common ground', or become more 'bi-partisan'. What the hell?? That is exactly how we got here.

And now when asked if he saw a trend towards conservatism in his conference? Boehner's response (sadly)

“I think our members are trying to avoid that.”

. Oh splendid! So what, more of the same? Yah - that should work. It worked so well that last two election cycles.

Folks, some simple truths are at work here.

• We will NEVER be able to 'out-nice' the Liberals. We will never co-opt them on 'caring' more - never.
  
  
• We will never be rewarded for our efforts in trying to 'be nice'.
  
  
• Liberals will not like us more, be nicer to us, or stop lying about us.
  
  
• Bi-partisanship is a loser for us. Because it only means we give up something - and get nothing in return. The Liberals get part of what they want now, the rest they will get later.
  
  
• We look weak and un-principled. Why? Because we are. What are, raging Moderates?
  

Look - we need to define what, exactly, we stand for. The Liberals know precisely what they stand for. Lately, we have been 'liberal-lite'. This is a loser for us. We need to re-identify what makes us Conservatives.

• Lower Taxes - both personal and business. We need to educate the public on why this is SUCH a good idea. High taxes rob people of the motivation needed to be productive.
  
  
• SMALLER Government. We need to point out the ever increasing size and scope of Government, why it is bad, and how it erodes our freedoms
  
  
• Secure our borders and protect our sovereignty
  
  
• Reject Man-made global warming. It is a farce and we need to be clear about it. We must avoid putting BAD policies (like Cap and Trade) in place because we will not reject the junk science of global warming.
  
  
• Increase Domestic oil and gas production
  
  
• Support our military. And not this crap of 'I support the troops, but not the mission'. That is Horse-shite. We need to REVERE our military.
  
  
• Reject political correctness and affirmative action. But instead, push the ideas of personal initiative, hard work, a level playing field, and letting people benefit from their hard work.

And we need to purge the RINOS from our midst - and damned soon. Until we embrace Conservatism once again - and get rid of the liberals in our party - we will be doomed to continue our current walk in the wilderness.

US Auto Companies - Let them go to Chapter 11

The Big 3 are in trouble. Of that there is no doubt. Should be bail them out - HELL NO. They got here through their own decisions. They entered into stupid union contracts. My favorite concession is the jobs bank. This is where you pay thousands of workers to sit all day and do NOTHING.

It is by design - you pay them to do nothing. It has its roots in the days when the company was automating jobs once done by humans. As a sop to the unions, they company agreed to keep people on the payroll, just in case they were needed. They are never needed. My best friend is losing his job at the end of November as a contract engineer for GM. He works at the GM Technical Center - this is a one-mile square collection of GM buildings. In one of the buildings, 150 union 'workers' show up everyday - and do nothing. Apparently, they used to be janitorial workers - but GM outsourced that function years ago. While these guys sit and do nothing, my friend is losing his job - at which he has worked hard for 15+ years. Great system.

So, I say - let them go into Chapter 11. It will give the companies a chance to re-organize and re-emerge with a competitive cost structure. Giving them a $25Billion bale-out does nothing to fix the fundamental problem. It simply prolongs the agony. Companies in Chapter 11 keep on running, people keep going to work, products keep being built.

But, the Democrats in congress are crying for a bailout. Why? Because, in Chapter 11, the courts will impose new contract terms with the union. That is the big rub for the Democrats. The unions HATE that. The court will simply remove ridiculous provisions like the jobs bank, having your birthday as a paid holiday, and not allowing an electrician to sweep a floor. In my mind, if the unions hate it - it must be a good thing.

Let the tyranny begin - Here comes The Fairness Doctrine

Well - it did not take long. Our Dear Leader, even though he has not taken office yet (though he did 'create' the 'Office of the President Elect' - speaking of hubris) he has announced an appointment. It is Henry Rivera...yikes. A little background and history - Rivera is an ardent supporter of the Fairness Doctrine. He served on the FCC Commissioner board from 81-85. It was his leaving, and being replaced by a Republican, that finally allowed the Fairness Doctrine to die a much needed death.

But, in politics, as in theology, dead does not really mean dead. Once he regains his seat in the spring of 2009, you can expect quick re-animation of the Fairness Doctrine.

What will this mean? It will force broadcast radio outlets to provide 'balanced' coverage of issues. Simply, if you have 3 hours of Rush - you will need 3 hours of a Liberal counterpoint. Several problems immediately confront the thoughtful reader concerning this:

1) What business does the Government have in regulating the political content of commercial speech (apart from say, obscenity)? There are plenty of opportunity for people to get diverse views in the media already. Radio is dominated by conservatives, Cable TV by Liberals.

2) Who will decide what is 'balance'? The FCC, of course. Now, Liberals think NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, the NYT, etc are 'middle of the road'. So much for 'Fairness'.

3) Who wants to deal with the fact that Liberal talk radio (Air America) has failed every time it has been tried. Liberals just do not get talk radio. They do not get the entertainment aspect of it. They certainly don't get the humour aspect of (they are just too mad all the time). Air America had audiences numbering in the dozens.

4) Could mean a boom for satellite radio. A lot harder to control something that is beamed in from space. Might want to get some stock in satellite radio related companies now. Let's stick it to The One and make some money.

So, what will the net result be? It will be just the opposite of the 'stated' intention. It will be exactly the 'actual' intent. Stations, under threat of license forfeiture, will be required to provide 'balance'. Since there are few, if any, financially viable models that include Liberal talk - they will do the only thing that they can --- LIMIT Conservative talk. Because, you see, there are two ways to achieve balance. Either have more of one thing - or less of the other.

It is clear the Liberals HATE talk radio. It is because it is an effective voice of opposition. So, rather than try to expand the audience for THEIR ideas - they will simply silence OUR ideas.

This is what you can expect from the Dear Leader. Forget the bullshit you hear from him about 'coming together', 'healing division', and 'listening to you'. He will move aggressively to silence the opposition.

This is but the first shot of the war to do so.

Not quite Mr. Fusion - but getting there. Our energy troubles solved?

Remember the movie 'Back to the Future'? Doc Brown comes back from the future to get Marty. For fuel to generate the 1.21 GigaWatts he needs - he dumps a bunch of garbage into a Mr. Fusion atomic generator mounted on the back of the DeLorean.

Well - we are not there yet, but, according to this article in the UK Guardian, we are getting closer.

The article describes a 'shed-size' nuclear reactor - that puts out enough electricity to power 20,000 homes. The article says the investment is $250/house. (I think that is an error - if my math is right (and it usually is), it would be $2,500 per house.) The total cost of the power is said to be $0.10 per KwHour. I am paying about $0.12 now. Also, in another article, Toshiba is developing an even smaller scale model - that could do it for $0.05/KwHour. They both use molten Lithium-6 as a coolant, which makes them extremely safe.

Now, you would think that this would be exciting, fantastic news!!! Just imagine - a power source that emits ZERO pollutants. A ZERO carbon footprint. Nothing to cap and trade. You would think that the environmentalists would have an eco-orgasim.

But - you know better. They will complain about the nuclear waste. Yes, a problem, but one we can solve, if we will only let ourselves. They will complain about environmental impact (even though the reactors take up the space of a garage - UNDERGROUND). They will fret that the Silver-Breasted Nut Scratcher will lose its habitat. The will raise the horror of 'The China Syndrome. All bullshit.

What they really don't like, what they really fear, is the specter of clean and essentially unlimited energy! It would completely unshackle the industrial economy in the US. It would make us even more of world dominating powerhouse!! This is the nightmare scenario to the socialist driven environmentalists. Because, never (actually - never, ever) forget, the hard core enviro-whackjobs are, at the core, anti-industrialists and anti-capitalists. They hide behind 'mother-earth' like a child behind his mother's skirt.

They cooked up the cock and bull global warming crisis to scare little children. They will not let it go, despite the fact that the globe has actually cooled the last 10 years. Scientists will continue to be ostracized for daring to publicly acknowledge the utter falsehood of man-made global warming. This has been, and will continue to be ignored by the MSM. To do otherwise would piss off the left.

The Messiah, when be takes office, has promised all kinds of nefarious regulations (the worst of the worst is Cap and Trade). This will be a powerful club to wield against the evil corporations. It will be a source of tremendous revenue to the government, and a source of nearly endless Federal power to meddle in private industry.

So, you will NEVER see these mini-reactors in use in the US -- NEVER. We will hear all manner of nonsense excuses and diversionary 'reasons' as to why. Just remember - the WHY is the power of the environmental movement, its incestuous relationship to the Left, and the issue's ability to allow the Left to control YOUR life.

Project Phoenix - We Rise from the Ashes

It is sad to me that it has come this. But, America has spoken. A majority of your fellow citizens decided this is the direction they wanted. The young, especially, are clueless as to what they have actually done. But, what is done is done.

So, no whining
Sure, there was voter fraud. But, be honest, it did NOT cost us the election. The margins were too big. We lost - the Dems won. Whining only cheapens us.

Deal with your grieve - and get past it quick
I suggest we share grieving process with like-minded individuals. Your liberal friends will gloat, the trolls will stop by your blogs. Let that kind of thing roll off your back. Just grin and bear it - it will be short lived.

We need to look to the future
As Conservatives and Patriots, we need to deal with it and get moving on planning our path forward.

Work towards 2010
BHO is a fact of life until 2012. We have another round of elections in 2 years. We need to work like hell to improve our position in that cycle.

We need to stand against any and all BAD ideas
We need to minimize the coming damage. To do to this, we need to help our weak-kneed, moderate, and 'bi-partisan' Senators grow a spine and a set. (And, yes, I include McCain in this group). The Senate is the only firewall standing between us and a complete train-wreck. So, let us take a while to settle ourselves. I a couple weeks, let's start planning a communication strategy to solidify our Conservative network. Then, let's start using the our network to influence our Senators.

On the, slightly, good news front - we will have at least 43 (probably 44) Senate seats. OOPS --- UPDATE... We are down do 42 at most. Run-off in GA, and Franken in Minn. If (big if) the Republican Senators hang together, the can stop a LOT of the Liberal agenda.

- They need to filibuster the Fairness Doctrine. (Oops - I was wrong here. The Fairness Doctrine can be re-imposed by a rule change at the FCC. The FCC will have a 3-2 balance of Democrats sometime in the first quarter 2009).
- They need to filibuster the Employee Free Choice act
- They need to filibuster the 'Cap and Trade' scheme gets stopped.
- They need to filibuster any new Gun Control measures
- They need to filibuster any attempt to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act
- They need to filibuster the Freedom of Choice Act.
- Be willing to filibuster judicial appointments. And be willing to stick too it.

Work like hell to completely overhaul the Republican Party
We nee a Conservative republican party. The RINOs had their chance. Bush was never a big C Conservative. The RINOS maimed us 2006. They killed us in 2008. Watching McCain should clarify it: we will never win by moving to the center. We won't win by trying to 'out-nice' the Liberals. We need to help the public understand what conservatism REALLY is

We need to identify and start grooming a Conservative leader. We need a focal point for re-building the Conservative movement. Jindal? Palin? Someone new? Let us not underestimate the size of this task. Look at the Electoral Map. It is truly sickening. Get ready for a long haul, it may well be 2016 before we will re-take the White House. It may take that long before the people really figure BHO out.

Last gasp of freedom

Well - this is my last post prior to the election. Just a couple of thoughts.

BHO has said recently that he wants to put policies in place that will, in effect, bankrupt the coal power plants in this country!! You may not be shocked to think of this - but we produce 1/2 of our electricity. AND he wants to make us free of dependence on foreign oil in 10 years. Give me a break.

He also wants a civilian security corp. From last Wednesday:

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,”... “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

Can you say 'Brown Shirt'? This would be the group that would seek out dissenters, intimidate the opposing voices, and probably work with the ATF to accomplish firearm confiscation. It will start nicely enough, but these things never finish that way.

Last week Obama made a crack about McCain calling him a Communist. He had a pretty funny crack about sharing his toys and his peanut butter sandwich. He wondered whether that makes him a Communist. He, of course, misses the point. When he shared HIS sandwich - that was CHARITY. As President, he would make everyone ELSE share THEIR toys. And THAT makes him at least a Socialist.

In closing: I do fear for tomorrow. In looking at the polls, I seem some hope of a McCain victory. Though, to be honest, I give him a 3 in 7 chance.

I will be hugely disappointed if BHO wins. I will be most disappointed because it will confirm my fear the people actually bought into this guy. That the American people finally said 'we want a nanny-state'. We WANT the government to be responsible for our lives, like the very pitiful woman after a BHO rally who said she would no longer have to worry about filling her gas tank or paying her mortgage.

This, ladies and gents, represents the end of America that I was raised in. An America where YOUR life, and that of your children, was ultimately YOUR responsibility. Charity thrived because people care deeply about others. But, in the new America - that will be dead. We will become Europe. It will be the governments job to take of you.

Should Barack Hussein Obama be elected President--It will be a sad, sad day.
