The Easter bunny, tooth fairy and global warming are childhood myths that make us reach for our wallet to continue their illusion. But the latter is going to cost us far more than plastic grass and hard-boiled eggs or occasional quarters under a pillow.
As a "strategic communicator" for a Fortune 500 electric utility that sought to corner the market (at least the entire western grid), I was one of several assigned to research industry Godzillas who potentially might stomp on our shareholders' Tokyo -- acid rain, electro-magnetic fields (EMFs) and global warming to be exact.
You see, the thing most dear to CEO and VP hearts -- their golden parachutes -- depended on identifying threats that could endanger their company's status and profits. So each issue was researched thoroughly.
Acid rain? Nothing to it. Coal-fired power plants were not guilty of doing damage where their smoke drifted. No, soil content was found to be acidic long before the advent of electricity.
EMFs? "Ummm, maybe it would be best to watch where we build power lines so the incidence of cancer in children living nearby isn't increased to a level that attracts public attention," the brass was told. In other words, evidence was serious enough to be carefully watchful.
And global warming? A political hoax, obvious back in the '80s. Whatever existed in "scientific evidence" was more than offset by factually supported data that pointed to climatic cycles. Besides, the board was urged, look at who's behind the still unproven theory.
Then as now, they are socialistic radicals intent on championing any cause that sticks it to corporate America, hastening the day of doom for hated capitalism.
Number Obama among them. Remember, it was Barack who welcomed summer's skyrocketing gas prices. Why? Because jumps at the pumps would help condition Americans to go along with socialistic mass transit and accept the radical environmental agenda intent on turning the United States into just another European country.
BHO would like nothing better than for us to junk our SUVs and oil up our bicycles. Boy, all those expensive-but-unused bike lanes should start looking good to us any day now.
Drill here; drill now; pay less? Well, terrorist-supporting OPEC sure did drop the price of gas like a heavy rock in order to scuttle that issue and get their candidate elected. What's a little less money to some of the richest men in the world when they can help put their choice in the Oval Office who will surrender Iraq without a shot and backburner the war on terror.
So energy independence now is off the table at Democrat-dominated Congress and at the left-leaning White House -- all in keeping with whatever it takes to undercut capitalism. Saving our planet from the dreaded hoax of global warming now will go into overdrive.
Expect power-hungry politicians to blacklist scientists who reject global warming alarmism, for congressmen to threaten companies that fund climate-change dissenters, for public schools to preach the unfounded theory as solid as evolution, and for mainstream media to ignore or smear any who dare speak the truth.
Unscrupulous scientists candidly admit the need to twist the facts to paint an uglier picture in order to greedily fool a misled public into accepting their conjecture as gospel while of course keeping our tax money flowing.
As for me, it's laughable if they weren't so deadly serious about the sham. I like what former senator Fred Thompson said:
“It seems scientists have noticed recently that quite a few planets in our solar system seem to be heating up a bit, including Pluto. This has led some people, not necessarily scientists, to wonder if Mars and Jupiter, non-signatories to the Kyoto Treaty, are actually inhabited by alien SUV-driving industrialists who run their air-conditioning at 60 degrees and refuse to recycle.”
You know, twice this fall I've dusted snow off my car here in Virginia -- and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. Right now, as I shiver on a 32-degree afternoon, I realize I can't stand much more of this politically inspired global warming.
Oh, but it's just a weather cycle, proponents counter. To which I say, my point exactly.

Get ready for attacks on conservative radio ...
Brace yourself for an unprecedented government assault upon the First Amendment. President Barack Obama will lead the charge, wielding his cloaked version of a “Fairness Doctrine.”
Arch liberals have been waiting for this coercive opportunity since 1987 when the Federal Communications Commission, under President Ronald Reagan, scraped the original Fairness Doctrine, allowing conservative talk radio to mushroom into popularity across America. The whiners can't wait to silence the hated Rush Limbaugh, who skyrocketed to a position of great influence as a result of Reagan's repeal that freed radio stations to air what listeners wanted to hear without having to include what they didn't.
President Reagan saw it right: America must have the opportunity to hear an alternative voice to what passes as reporting on the nightly news. As Rush is known to say: “Don’t ask me for equal time; I am equal time. I am the rebuttal to the liberal, mainstream, drive-by media.”
Now, with control of the Presidency and both houses of Congress, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine to stifle conservative talk radio’s criticism of the Democrats' so-often-failed agenda.
Obama claims to oppose that, however, knowing such a blatant move surely will inspire an outraged march on Washington by listeners of Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Bill Bennett and other hosts. (Come to think of it, now's a good time to launch a pitchfork-sharpening business, offering free maps of DC to spur business.)
Ah, but the president-elect still is counting the days to the strangled death of conservative talk radio! Just listen to the opening of Hannity's radio show for a collection of Obama's sound bites against Sean. Makes you wonder: Has a presidential candidate ever had so much to say against a broadcaster?
Eschewing a frontal assault, Obama plans to sneak through a side door to silence that pesky conservative voice. The FCC, you see, has an ambiguous rule called “localism” that requires stations to serve the interests of their local communities in order to maintain their licenses. Obama, who will immediately sack FCC Chairman Kevin Martin upon taking office, needs only three votes from the five-member FCC to redefine localism in such a way that handcuffs conservative talk radio.
Warning signs abound if you look closely. Check out Jack Thompson's report at Human Events for more details.
The skulduggery already is afoot: the FCC has called for permanent station advisory boards, made up of community officials and leaders, to periodically advise of local needs and issues that ensures diversity of on-air content. That way, any station that fails to appease “local community leaders” will lose its license.
Can't happen? Well, answer this: What organization first successfully used FCC “localism” to silence a station?
Answer: The United Church of Christ, Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s highly-politicized denomination. That's right, the racist reverend's Office of Communication, Inc., yanked a broadcast license away from a southern station deemed not to be covering the civil-rights movement fairly. The precedent is set!
Hummm, you gotta wonder about anyone who, with a straight face, claims such chicanery didn't influence him over a 20-year association.
So, like I said, brace yourself! One way or another, the attacks are coming. Let your conservative voice be heard and help America get it right!

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss ...
Sigh! So much for hope and change:
In calling his second major shot as president-elect, Barack Obama picked pro-abortion Tom Daschle as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The former U.S. senator from South Dakota, known for taking no prisoners as Senate Majority Leader, will replace pro-life advocate Mike Leavitt, who has been working on protecting pro-life doctors and nurses. Sigh!
As the health secretary, Daschle will likely play a role in shaping Obama's health care plan, which has come under fire for possibly including abortion coverage or mandating that hospitals or insurance companies cover abortions. Sigh!
Hope? Not for pre-born babies. Change? Yeah, a sad step deeper into, not out of, bitter partisan politics. This isn't reaching across the isle; it's throwing a sucker punch!
To quote the Who from Don't Get Footed Again: "Meet the new boss; same as the old boss." Not at all what voters expected from the messiah's mantra on the campaign trail, huh?
Reminds me of a Fanny Mae lender who died and arrived at the pearly gates, where Saint Peter gave him the choice of heaven or hell after visiting each.
First up was hell, and the lender was stunned to see a gorgeous lush-green golf course, complete with a ritzy clubhouse that offered plenty of booze, massages and an unending poker game. Then came heaven, a serenely beautiful place of peace and tranquility.
When Peter called for the decision the next day, the lender said: "Well, this might surprise you, but I think I'll fit in better in hell."
"So be it," Peter said, pointing to the elevator. Down the lender went to his exciting and attractive destination for eternity.
But when the doors opened, the Fanny Mae lender was greeted by blast-furnace flames and searing pain. As Satan emerged from the fire, the lender cried out, "What happened? Yesterday it was so beautiful..."
"Yesterday," Satan hissed with an evil smile, "we were campaigning. Today you voted!"

White guilt? Done; over; dead and buried ...
For weekend reading I offer an atricle from the Philadelphia Inquirer by Tom Adkins, publisher of www.CommonConservative.com
White guilt? Done; over; history
There go my fellow conservatives, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I'm virtually euphoric. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America's flirtation with neosocialism. But there's a massive silver lining in the magical clouds that lofted Barack Obama to the presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America:
The Era of White Guilt is over.
This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn't give a fluff about skin color and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively working with America-hating domestic terrorists. Yet white Americans made Barack Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov. 4, 2008, white guilt is dead.
So today, I'm feeling a little "uppity," if you will. For more than a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 1960s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution to the country's problems. But if a black man can become president, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barack Obama destroys the validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.
From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is exactly ZERO. No more Rev. Jeremiah Wright's "God Damn America," Al Sharpton's Church of Perpetual Victimization, or Jesse Jackson's rainbow racism. Cornel West? You're a fraud. All those "black studies" programs must now teach kids to thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.
Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.)? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. To those Eurosnots who forged careers hating America? I'm still waiting for the first black French president.
No more quotas. No more handouts. No more complaining that "the man" is keeping you down. "The man" is now black.
It's time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid '60s ideas. Drag it over there, right between free love and cop-killing. Careful, don't trip on streaking. Just dump it. And then wash your hands. It's filthy.
Obama's ascension also creates another gargantuan irony. How can liberals sell American racism, class envy and unfairness when our new black president and his wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and are now moving to the White House? How unfair is that? Now, like a delicious O. Henry tale, Obama's spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by its own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama's election has validated American conservatism.
So ... Wham!!!
That's the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled and tombstone erected. Dead and buried.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...
Some supposedly in the know believe President-elect Barack Obama's broad victory will be accompanied by broadly appealing policies and broad-minded appointments.
These experts find solace in the fact only 22 percent of 2008's voters say they are liberal, that 44 percent are moderate and 34 percent conservative. They point out Obama won by convincing an ideologically stable electorate that he isn't a radical, not by shifting the electorate toward radicalism.
Therefore, they claim, Obama will govern as a centrist, not a radical, so there's nothing for us to fear.
I disagree. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you'd better duck!
Think about it: Obama knows he in truth is the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. He further knows he brings the least administrative or executive experience of any President-elect into the White House. He of course knows his long-developing plans for America are not what the people want, but he also knows he has successfully deceived a majority into voting for him and now has a golden opportunity not possible in Stalin's dreams.
That takes a great deal of exaggerated pride or deluded self-confidence, doesn't it? Say, isn't that the definition of hubris?
In football, the spot where a runner went down or a referee's penalty flag can mean the difference. Right or not, it goes in the W column and counts as a victory, without an asterisk, toward a bowl berth or even the national championship.
Obama got all the breaks. He prevailed because he fooled enough of the people enough of the time to capture the world's biggest prize for the left. Do you really think he won't now wield the full power of the Oval Office to make good on his win and bring his unAmerican plans to reality?
Be ready for this ungodly enemy of capitalism to do everything in the power of his stealthfully gained office to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights, criminalize Christianity and subvert this great nation as far as he can for as long as he can -- until we, the people, finally wake up and put a stop to his subterfuge.

Obama to create Gestapo-like police force ...
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it. America thus may soon wear the dunce cap and join deluded Germany and Russia in the corner of scorn.
I share the same apprehension as Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), who fears President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship on his changed version of the United States.
"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with the Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."
It's true: Obama warned America back in July that he favored a civilian force to, ahem, take some of the national security burden off the military. Riiiight!
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany, and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun points out. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."
I, too, find Obama's words shocking: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Although Obama claims to respect the Second Amendment's right to bear arms, Broun believes the President-elect will seek to ban gun ownership while building the national police force.
"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun cautioned. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."

Farrakhan praises Allah's man at mosque ...
Barack Hussein Obama is Allah's man, a divine messiah with a god-given capacity to handle any burdens he'll face as the nation's leader because he draws a "oneness of spirit" from all people.
Or so said Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan during a Sunday address that celebrated the new President-elect at a Chicago mosque.
"President-elect Obama has energized all segments of the depressed, downtrodden, rejected and despised," Farrakhan said in the 90-minute speech. "Now it is up to us to take the new energy that he has given us."
The 75-year-old Muslim admitted he stayed quiet about his support for Obama during the past few months after praising the Democratic Party candidate last February as "the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better."
B. Hussein quickly distanced himself from Farrakhan at the time, and the Islamic leader didn't object: "I decided it would be better for me to just be quiet rather than be drawn into the controversy that was swirling around his pastor (Rev. Jeremiah Wright), Father Pfleger, and others," Farrakhan said.

Obama ready to change good for bad ...
America's voters demanded change, and by Barack they're going to get it! President-elect Obama is about to give the people what they didn't realize they don't want.
Abortion's all-time political champion is intent on reversing an estimated 200 administration actions and executive orders implemented during President George
W. Bush's eight years -- including White House policies on climate change, stem cell research and reproductive rights, according to The Washington Post.
Dozens of advisers reportedly have been working for months to prioritize the issues, especially regulations imposed for "overtly political" (read pro-life) reasons.
Insiders say you can count on these two changes for the worse:
==> Ending a limit on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.
==> Ending a rule that keeps international "family-planning groups" from receiving your tax dollars to encourage women to get abortions.
If you thought President Bush didn't do enough for our cause, wait until you see all that the new messiah will undo upon taking office. Americans won't be able to say he didn't warn us.

Real hope and change brighten dark days ...
Less than 48 hours after the darkest day, there already is news of real hope and change!
Conservative leaders met in Virginia Thursday to begin planning the opposition to President-elect Barack Obama's liberal agenda -- an effort they say will be made with or without the Republican Party.
Among those on hand were L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center; Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council; Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform; Al Regnery, publisher of the American Spectator; longtime conservative activist Richard Viguerie and conservative pollster Kellyanne Conway, according to CNSNews.com.
The leaders expect to battle Obama, Democratic-dominated Congress and even moderate Republicans on taxes, sanctity of life, marriage, judicial nominations, secret ballots for union organizing and the Fairness Doctrine, which threatens freedom of speech on the radio.
Bozell said the group sees the election was not a defeat to conservative ideas and principles but to a Republican Party that mistakenly shunned these principles: “This was a campaign between the moderate wing of the Republican Party and the Democrats.” To which Viguerie said, “Conservatism did not lose – big-government Republicanism lost.”
Conservatives solutions are just as viable as ever. So we need to do a much better job of selling the benefits. “Information is the currency of democracy,” as Thomas Jefferson used to say. So we've got to increase the quality and extent of our communication.
As a conservative my fear is that the people won't understand. But I take heart in the fact liberals are afraid the people WILL understand and thus support conservative solutions to our nation's problems.
It's urgent we spread the good news before empowered liberals transform American into a socialist nation.
Socialism, and its penchant for redistributing wealth, is nothing new. It was old stuff back in Winston Churchill's day, leading him to say: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
And over time its axiom is this: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Say, isn't that the definition of crazy: repeatedly doing the same thing, expecting a different result?
The wise Mr. Jefferson also stated: "Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
To those who advocate socialism, I say show us just one successful example. But it's likely they'd arrogantly answer, "Well, WE haven't tried yet."
See if you don't agree Dean Koontz correctly pegged Democrat elitists like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean:
"Pure, hard-core liberals believe in a superior race. They think they're it," Koontz said. "They believe they're more intelligent than the general run of mankind, better suited than the little people are to manage the little people's lives. They think they have the one true vision, the ability to solve all the moral dilemmas of the century. They prefer big government because that is the first step to totalitarianism, toward unquestioned rule by the elite. And of course they see themselves as the elite."
Americans misguidedly bought into the benefits of socialism on election Day. Now they need to quickly be brought up to speed on its detriments. Many have no idea how Obama's half-baked ideas have been tried over and over elsewhere and repeatedly led to disaster.
Liberals excitedly see the way clear to make progress with their agenda. If, however, you're on the wrong road to begin with, true progress necessitates an about-face to get back to the right road. Until then, every step makes it worse.
We, as conservatives, thus must get this vital message out to America's grass roots and generate support for our leaders in exile as they map the road back to sanity. Tell friends and family. Speak up when possible. Direct everyone to sources that tell the truth about conservatism and socialism.
Conservative leaders met in Virginia Thursday to begin planning the opposition to President-elect Barack Obama's liberal agenda -- an effort they say will be made with or without the Republican Party.
Among those on hand were L. Brent Bozell III, president of the Media Research Center; Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council; Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform; Al Regnery, publisher of the American Spectator; longtime conservative activist Richard Viguerie and conservative pollster Kellyanne Conway, according to CNSNews.com.
The leaders expect to battle Obama, Democratic-dominated Congress and even moderate Republicans on taxes, sanctity of life, marriage, judicial nominations, secret ballots for union organizing and the Fairness Doctrine, which threatens freedom of speech on the radio.
Bozell said the group sees the election was not a defeat to conservative ideas and principles but to a Republican Party that mistakenly shunned these principles: “This was a campaign between the moderate wing of the Republican Party and the Democrats.” To which Viguerie said, “Conservatism did not lose – big-government Republicanism lost.”
Conservatives solutions are just as viable as ever. So we need to do a much better job of selling the benefits. “Information is the currency of democracy,” as Thomas Jefferson used to say. So we've got to increase the quality and extent of our communication.
As a conservative my fear is that the people won't understand. But I take heart in the fact liberals are afraid the people WILL understand and thus support conservative solutions to our nation's problems.
It's urgent we spread the good news before empowered liberals transform American into a socialist nation.
Socialism, and its penchant for redistributing wealth, is nothing new. It was old stuff back in Winston Churchill's day, leading him to say: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

The fight has just begun -- let's get it right ...
The not-so-Grand Old Party is in such disarray that a complete overhaul is mandatory for survival. Because America thrives when the GOP champions conservative ideals and ethical reform, Republicans must reach deep down to their faithful grass roots, get back in touch with the party's right-minded base and then boldly build from the ground up to again have a chance to win back the Oval Office and regain control of Congress.
One factor may well provide that opportunity. As Clintonian Democrats used to say: "It's the economy, stupid." How ironic that the main reason the electorate tilted toward Barack Obama is the main reason why he won't be able to have his Marxist way with the land we love.
As Dick Morris rightly points out, Obama will serve more as "a trustee or conservator of a bankrupt company" than as President backed by an obedient Congress. Obama has little maneuverability because right behind the mortgage crisis looms the credit-card crisis, then the student-loan crisis and the car-loan crisis.
"Sweating this mess out of the system will take two years of zero growth or contraction," Morris wrote in his Thursday column. "We won't have a Great Depression, for the government will irrigate our economy with money. But we'll have stagnation, followed by inflation."
So the economic crisis likely will keep the most liberal man ever in the White House from indulging his anti-capitalism and unAmerican ideologies. A faltering economy should stop Obama from redistributing wealth and hiking our taxes for the massive money needed to make his envisioned socialist state a reality.
And that should buy time for the tattered conservative movement to mend and be reborn as an effective opposition party to recapture the support of right-minded America. So should Obama attempt to move the country too far left, that will only help reunite conservatives.
Not only that, but while Democrats tend not to learn from history, 1994's sting of being run out of power is fresh in many memories. So even though Obama has House and Senate majorities similar to what President Bill Clinton enjoyed, many Democrats -- including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- are anxious to avoid the same heavy-handed mistakes that previously swept them out of office.
"The country must be governed from the middle," Pelosi told reporters Wednesday. "You have to bring people together to reach consensus on solutions that are sustainable and acceptable to the American people."
That, too, if true, may also provide conservatives an opportunity to regroup. But who will lead the way? The hunt is on for the next Ronald Reagan, for Mr. Right. Or perhaps Mrs. Right?
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin looms as one of many people to influence Republican comeback strategy. Beloved by talk radio, she's a proven reformer who has successfully implemented conservative solutions to her state's problems.
Grover Norquist, a leading conservative and president of Americans for Tax Reform, called her "one of five or six people who is a plausible candidate for president in 2012," along with familiar names like Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
The media, always wrong, will again urge us to move to the left and become more like the Democratic Party. However, Republicans win by running on President Ronald Reagan’s ideas and lose when we move left. Instead, let's hammer a stake through the hard heart of big-government Republicanism and quickly put that blood-sucking vilain to death.
“The conservative movement will rise again," promises Phyllis Schlafly, president of Eagle Forum. But the veteran conservative activist warns the movement needs to start over again -– from the beginning.
“The conservative movement knows how to rise from the ashes, and we need to pick up the pieces of the movement, which was so badly dismantled and put in disarray by the George W. Bush administration. But we can do it. And we’ve got to get started immediately,” she said.
Democrats expect Republicans to raise the white flag and admit that our principles of freedom, responsibility and smaller government no longer hold the answer to America's myriad problems. The guys in the black hats want us to abandon our principles, stand aside and give Obama and a Democratic-dominant Congress free rein.
That must not happen! And I don't think it will.
God's people, of course, must come to their senses. And quickly! Far too many were shamefully duped by the wolf in sheep's clothing, allowing Obama to lure away a significant number of "religious voters" who historically side with Republican presidential candidates. Exit polls show him winning a strong majority of both Catholic and Protestant Hispanics to go with nearly all black Protestants.
Remember this: Obama couldn't be more pro-abortion. This homosexual activist doesn't believe Jesus is the only way to eternal life or that those who reject Christ are headed for hell. What's worse, now that the President elect has fooled enough Christians to grab power as a false prophet, he will be coming after us to silence the truth we would speak against his ultra-liberal agenda for America.
Sen. John McCain's loss was NOT a defeat for conservatism. I believe McCain lost because he strayed far from the principles that made the old party grand.
The fight really has only just begun. God is still with us. This time, let's get it right!

Campaign twists like science-fiction flick ...
I couldn't agree more with James Hirsen, who wrote today in his The Left Coast Report email: "To me, it feels as if we’ve been unwittingly cast in a surreal science-fiction flick.
"> A presidential hopeful runs on a 'brother’s keeper' slogan while his own brother lives in a Kenya shack and his auntie abides in a Boston slum.
"> The right to choose extends to denying even a Band-Aid for a baby brutalized by a botched abortion while compassion gets redefined as a tax rebate in every pot.
"> A citizen plumber gets the Roto-Rooter treatment while VIP medical records are quarantined and birth certificates are deep-sixed.
"> The elite media twiddle their thumbs as a vice presidential candidate is hung in effigy and 'Halloween art' is the explanation.
"> A former 'SNL' jokester runs for a Senate seat while his current 'SNL' pals hit the ratings jackpot with one-sided mockery.
"> A ballot from a cartoon character barely raises an eyebrow while a ballot from a soldier is pored over with a magnifying glass.
"> Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg is given a halo while Justices Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia are handed horns and pitchforks.
"> Reporters are booted from planes and anchors reprimanded for asking questions while the Rev. Jeremiah Wright lands a book deal.
"> Infomercials get free rein while commercials get censored.
"> Networks declare races over while encouraging viewers to tune in for the final tallies."
Thanks, James. One clear case after another of calling bad good and good bad. Hey, isn't that biblical?

May God's will be done in America ...
My wife of 37 years and I both had rough nights medically, but we were up early and were finished voting before 7 a.m. in our little Virginia community. Now the election is in God's hands.
Who can deny America deserves God's discipline. But of course we beg for his mercy and grace like Abraham did with Sodom. Some of those who've studied Revelation say they don't see the United States at the final confrontation. If true, I've long wondered what takes us out of the picture -- a massive terrorist attack, a total economic collapse, Barack Obama, all of the above?
It's true: God's people haven't responded well since 9/11. We talked a good game but really didn't follow through. We deserve what comes.
You see, government isn't the answer to helping people through tough times. God's answer is His people acting in sacrificial love, sharing what they have in the name of Jesus to prove God is real in a way that will transform lives.
Jesus is the answer to every problem our nation faces. Yet we as Christians often turn to Him last when faced with difficulties. Jesus can and will transform anyone out of any detrimental lifestyle, including homosexuality. Thousands of former homosexuals attest to that truth. But the church in America has yet to lovingly show gays the way. Until we do, the church won't be seen as relevant to today's society, because it's true: Jesus is Lord of all or not at all.
I am confident false prophet Obama will come after Christians as any good Marxist does when in power. But persecution may well be what God's people need to get serious about seeking and doing His will regardless of the cost.
Throughout the ages, the enemy has done his very worst to snuff the church, but persecution only causes God's influence to grow.
So unless McCain pulls off an upset tonight as God undeservedly sheds His mercy on America, I look forward to seeing painful -- but beneficial -- pressure applied to the church to see how God will eventually bless our nation for true Christians' perseverance and obedience.

Obama hiding truth of U.S. citizenship ...
Reasons abound why inexperienced Barack Obama shouldn't be Commander in Chief, but there are those who say the freshman senator isn't even a U.S. citizen -- an issue that Obama absolutely refuses to clear up before Election Day.
Considerable evidence shows Barack was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii. And that's extremely important because if it's really Kenya, then Obama doesn't qualify as a presidential candidate, according to the U.S. Constitution, which sets the rules.
Gov. Linda Lingle instructed the Hawaii Department of Health to make sure the original doctor-generated and hospital-released birth certificate on file would be released to the press ONLY if Obama so requested –- and to date he has made no such request.
The governor left ambiguous whether the birth certificate on file was originally generated by a Hawaii doctor after giving birth to Obama in Hawaii, or generated in Kenya and subsequently registered by the Obama family in Hawaii.
Obama obviously wants to keep a lid on this potentially disqualifying truth until after Tuesday. Then he hopes it will get buried daily news of under his transformation of the Unitd States into a socialoist nation. But does Obama really think he is so star-crossed that he can forever hide the truth? Or will the fact he is not a valid U.S. citizen pop his presiddntial bubble before Inauguration Day?
The question is what honest reason keeps Obama from giving permission to release his birth certificate? This is one issue the "annointed one" can dispell with a nod. Yet he repeatedly refuses.
Barack must be hiding the fact he is not eligible to be President. As long as he refuses, what else are we to think?

Obama's ties to Farrakhan run deep ...
Some say this presidential election has been going on far too long. But when it comes to unearthing the truth about Barack Obama more time is needed.
For example, Kenneth R. Timmerman's article Saturday at Newsmax.com. was an eye-opener about Obama's long association with Louis Farrakhan. Timmerman quotes a former top deputy to Nation of Islam leader Farrakhan saying Obama’s ties to the black nationalist movement in Chicago run deep, and that for many years the two men have had “an open line between them” to discuss policy and strategy, either directly or through intermediaries.
“Remember that for years, if you were a politician in Chicago, you had to have some type of relationship with Louis Farrakhan. You had to. If you didn’t, you would be ostracized out of black Chicago,” said Dr. Vibert White Jr., who spent most of his adult life as a member and ultimately top officer of the Nation of Islam.
White, who broke with the group in 1995 and is now a professor at the University of Central Florida, said Obama was “part of the Chicago scene” where Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and radicals would go to each other’s events and support each other’s causes.
Timmerman points out the Anti-Defamation League has called the Nation of Islam as a “hate group” and denounced Farrakhan for calling Jews “bloodsuckers,” “satanic” and accusing them of running the slave trade. He has labeled gays as “degenerates.”
While Obama was careful to “denounce” Farrakhan’s comments, he did not come down hard on his friend. And Barack's criticism came only after Sen. Hillary Clinton called him out during the primaries for benefiting from Farrakhan’s support.
Farrakhan endorsed Obama in a videotaped speech to his followers at Mosque Miryam in Chicago in February. “You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth,” Farrakhan said:
Obama was less than candid when he said Farrakhan had been praising him as “an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together." "I obviously can't censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.”
Less than candid because in 1995 Obama “took time off from attending campaign coffees to attend October’s Million Man March in Washington, D.C.,” according to a profile of Obama that appeared in the Chicago Reader .
Obama spoke at length with the Chicago newspaper upon his return from the Million Man March. “What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society," he said. “These are mean, cruel times, exemplified by a ‘lock ’em up, take no prisoners’ mentality that dominates the Republican-led Congress,” Obama said.
In 1984, Rev. Wright accompanied Farrakhan on his much-criticized trip to meet Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, at a time when Gadhafi was considered an enemy of the United States. Yet in Feburary this year Obama insisted his pastor and mentor “does not have a close relationship with Louis Farrakhan,” after Wright’s Trumpet magazine gave Farrakhan its Lifetime Achievement award.
White told Newsmax that the Trumpeter Award, honoring Farrakhan for “truly epitomized greatness,” was the fruit of a long and deep relationship between the two men.

Bad decisions: hanging, tasting, choosing ...
Thoughts while clearing my email in-box:
==> Supposedly to "add politics" to their halloween display, homosexual partners Chad Morrisette and Mito Aviles hung a Sarah Palin dummy with a noose from the front of their house. Their decorations also included John McCain in flames on the roof.
It's easy to see why the misguided pair would gleefully picture such violent and destructive scenes, even knowing how offensive it would be to so many people: Barack Hussein Obama has promised sodomite voters he will enact numerous pro-homosexual policies upon occupying the White House.
So the pair braved backlash from resulting traffic jams in their West Hollywood neighborhood and from concerned neighbors, worried the display would reflect badly on the mostly homosexual community.
Certainly the irony of McCain-Palin supporters not being able to hang Obama in effigy must have made it all the sweeter. But even if Barack wasn't black, hanging and burning to express a political viewpoint is something you'd expect in the Arab street, not here in America.
-------
==> Since capitalism "obviously" has failed, as liberals now claim, why DON'T we try socialism? Let's just take a sip and see how it tastes, huh?
Except it doesn't work that way.
You can't be half-socialist any more than you can be half-pregnant, correctly states pundit Michael Reagan. Get knocked up with socialism, and you'll have to deliver a full-born Marxist. There is nothing in between.
So when someone says to you, "Try it, you'll like it," just tell them honest capitalism is the answer to our greed-generated (and Democrat-dominated) economic crisis. And if they insist, ask them for just one example where socialism has outperformed America's tried-and-true economic gem.
-------
==> To hear Obama tell it, Bill Ayers and Tony Rezco, to name only two, are just coincidental associations.
Yet consider his own well-chosen words about his Occidental College days in Los Angeles from his book, Dreams of My Father: "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully, The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
Nothing, you see, is coincidental with Barack.
==> BONUS TIDBIT: Did you know Obama's proposed health-care plan covers abortion, which means your tax dollars will go to fund the snuffing of preborn babies. The freshman senstor, on the other hand, publicly opposes crisis pregnancy centers and abstinence education programs. And are you aware that Barack has promised to restore funding to the UNFPA, a United Nations group intent on forced abortions? Check it out at www.LifeNews.com.
==> And something to think about this Sunday ...
==> Supposedly to "add politics" to their halloween display, homosexual partners Chad Morrisette and Mito Aviles hung a Sarah Palin dummy with a noose from the front of their house. Their decorations also included John McCain in flames on the roof.
It's easy to see why the misguided pair would gleefully picture such violent and destructive scenes, even knowing how offensive it would be to so many people: Barack Hussein Obama has promised sodomite voters he will enact numerous pro-homosexual policies upon occupying the White House.
So the pair braved backlash from resulting traffic jams in their West Hollywood neighborhood and from concerned neighbors, worried the display would reflect badly on the mostly homosexual community.
Certainly the irony of McCain-Palin supporters not being able to hang Obama in effigy must have made it all the sweeter. But even if Barack wasn't black, hanging and burning to express a political viewpoint is something you'd expect in the Arab street, not here in America.
==> Since capitalism "obviously" has failed, as liberals now claim, why DON'T we try socialism? Let's just take a sip and see how it tastes, huh?
Except it doesn't work that way.
You can't be half-socialist any more than you can be half-pregnant, correctly states pundit Michael Reagan. Get knocked up with socialism, and you'll have to deliver a full-born Marxist. There is nothing in between.
So when someone says to you, "Try it, you'll like it," just tell them honest capitalism is the answer to our greed-generated (and Democrat-dominated) economic crisis. And if they insist, ask them for just one example where socialism has outperformed America's tried-and-true economic gem.
==> To hear Obama tell it, Bill Ayers and Tony Rezco, to name only two, are just coincidental associations.
Yet consider his own well-chosen words about his Occidental College days in Los Angeles from his book, Dreams of My Father: "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully, The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
Nothing, you see, is coincidental with Barack.
==> BONUS TIDBIT: Did you know Obama's proposed health-care plan covers abortion, which means your tax dollars will go to fund the snuffing of preborn babies. The freshman senstor, on the other hand, publicly opposes crisis pregnancy centers and abstinence education programs. And are you aware that Barack has promised to restore funding to the UNFPA, a United Nations group intent on forced abortions? Check it out at www.LifeNews.com.

Barack's ignorance, naivitae laughable ...
Sick and tired of seeing Hollywood liberals worshipping at the altar of Obama, a major producer decided to take a bold stand. He thought: If Obama's ignorance and naivitae weren't so potentially cataclysmic, it would be laughable.
So he produced a 30-second spot that mocks the absurdity of Barack's willingness to meet with the world's most vile and dangerous dictators and despots without preconditions. The producer wants the American people to realize that, when it comes to foreign affairs and national security, Obama is a joke.
If, after watching the video below, you agree that American voters need to see this spot on their TVs before Nov. 4, go to www.OurCountryDeservesBetter.com and make a tax-deductible contribution to make it happen.

Obama boots maverick papers' reporters ...
Barack Obama "owns" the media to such an extent he arrogantly punishes any dissention in the adoring ranks. That's why reporters from three major newspapers that endorsed John McCain were booted from his campaign plane for the final leg of the presidential race.
The Washington Times said it was notified of the campaign's decision Thursday evening -- even though the paper has covered Obama from the start.
The New York Post and Dallas Morning News also have been kicked off Obama's plane, according to The Drudge Report, which said the three reporters were told to find alternative transportation by Sunday so the plane could accommodate "network bigwigs" and reporters from two black magazines, Essence and Jet.
"I can only hope that the candidate who describes himself as wanting to unite the nation doesn't have some sort of litmus test for who he decides gets to cover the campaign," Washington Times Executive Editor John Solomon said, noting the Obama campaign's decision came just two days after the paper endorsed McCain.

Rotting corpse proves journalism long dead ...
Conservative radio's Sean Hannity says this is the year journalism died. With all due respect, wrong! It's been dead for years, really ever since the Iraq War began. It's just that the rotting corpse is now stinking so badly that people can't help but notice.
Consider the fact that mainstream media has a even lower approval rating than Congress, which slides in below that of President George W. Bush. Who can deny the media has reached an all-time low in its mindless all-out support of Barack Obama. Consider this video evidence:

Remember, Biden gave us fair warning ...
Of course America’s enemies will generate a crisis to test the mettle of our new President, regardless of who wins the Oval Office. Count on it -- they usually do. And while the world learns our leader’s character, it goes without saying that Americans will stand by our Commander in Chief through such a perilous time.
So it’s not surprising that Sen. Joe Biden, Barack Obama’s VP running mate, would issue such a warning. What chilled my heart is the fact Joe then cautioned that Obama’s actions will appear to be wrong.
Just what does the “anointed one” plan to do that Americans would see as wrong? It must seem so wrong that Obama lacks confidence in his slick oratory to convince us with the needed solutuion, so wrong that we must trust him blindly.
And remember: Biden issued his warning surrounded by supporters who worship Obama. To that anti-war crowd, it'd be something like a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear capabilities. I seriously doubt that, yet the question of "why" remains.
Is B. Hussein's mind already made up not to respond militarily to a terrorist strike against us? Will he refuse to help Israel when attacked by Iran? Does he intend to subjugate the U.S. under U.N. rule?
One thing's sure: Biden definitely had something on his mind, a specific planned response by Obama that many Americans will openly question, even oppose. I know he's called "Gaff-a-Day Joe" for good reason, but --again-- why would Biden close his warning with a call to back Barack's solution against better judgement?
Naturally Obama and Biden have sorted through potential threats. They’ve lined it out: If this happens, we do that; but if that happens, we do this. And there’s one thing Obama plans to do that’s going to upset the public.
My guess? Obama will invoke special presidential powers that declare him a dictator during the crisis. In the name of expediency he will set aside the U.S. Constitution to demand legislation from Democrat-dominated Congress in order to answer the challenge -- subterfuge neatly designed to quickly change us from a constitutional republic for our own good. Trust him -- he knows better than we, the people, do.
Far fetched, you say? Perhaps. Then again I never thought I’d hear a poll-leading presidential candidate talk about the Marxist redistribution of wealth and re-stocking the U.S. Supreme Court to do away with the Constitution. (See videos below)
