Welcome Back Homeboy

On October 17, 2002 on San Diego's 760 KTMB Harry Belefonte slammed then Secretary of State, Colin Powell as a sellout to the black race. He compared Powell to a planatation slave moving into his master's house.

Peter Jennings of ABC News suggested that maybe Colin Powell was a GOP Uncle Tom and asked him, "Do you ever feel that maybe this is the professional wing of the party trying to use you?"

TransAfrica founder, Randall Robinson said of Powell that he is, "the most powerful and damaging black to rise to influence in the world in my lifetime."

In The Black Commentator, Powell was called the "The Gangster of Haiti."

It just boggles my mind that if you are black and conservative then the Liberal Press and their political allies think that you are an Uncle Tom or as they called Condaleeza Rice, Aunt Jemimah.

Julian Bond, President of the NAACP went so far to say about Ms. Rice that she was "the purest expression of a race traitor. No polite description is possible."

Look how they have trashed Justice Clarence Thomas.

But now that General Powell has endorsed Senator Obama, he has suddenly become the darling of the Democrats. He is no longer an Uncle Tom, he is no longer the "house ni**er", he is now
part of the messiah's flock and all his sins are forgiven him. What double standards!

Welcome back Homeboy, you were lost but now you are found!

Damn That Plumber!

As the election draws to a close and we are about to elect a new president I was just thinking of the part that the media has played in this campaign. Never have I seen the main stream media fall off their wagon and show their bias towards one candidate as they have done for Barrack Obama.

I remember when all the rage was about Hillary Clinton. She was the one who was supposed to be crowned president. She was the media darling and all the anchors were supposed to be her lap dogs. She honestly believed that it was all hers and for all intent and purposes it should have been.

But then a funny thing happened on the way to her coronation , a young man came out of nowhere to screw up her plans. Granted this young man had hardly any experience and his resume was as thin as a paper towel but the media fell in love with him and all of a sudden they told Hillary, Wham, Bam, no thank you mam, we now have a new man. Oh and by the way have we told you he has a funny name, he doesn't look like any of the other presidents on the dollar bill and by the way, guess what? "What?" asked Hillary. He is black!

Can you just imagine how Hillary felt being that she had just been kicked under bus by the very media that was going to take her all the way to the White House.

Now comes Joe the Plumber. Here is a man who is asking Barrack Obama about his tax plan and Obama tells him about his plan of spreading the wealth. Well it seems that this has caused quite a firestorm with small business men and women all over the U.S. and many Americans are beginning to raise some eyebrows about this "wealth re-distribution". The polls start to tighten and all of a sudden it is not the run away election they planned. Damn that Plumber! What is he doing clogging our pipes? So here comes the main stream media to Obama's defense and are now attempting to do what they do best, CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.

They have tried to dig up every piece of dirt on this man just like they tried to do with Sarah Palin. Yet, where were they with Rezko, Ayers, Wright , Odinga, Davis the communist and a host of other questionable characters who Obama has associated with? I tell you where they were, they were MISSING IN ACTION!

Why do you suppose this is happening? Could it be that the media wants to ease their guilt by helping the first black man to become president? I for one believe that it is media guilt because he certainly does not have the experience to lead this great country. We tried that once with a Peanut Farmer and are still suffering from his ignorance.

It is now time for us to turn the tables, kick the Main Street Media under the bus and show them who really is in charge. Do not let them dictate to us who would be best for us, instead let's tell them that they no longer matter and that we as intelligent Americans can make up our own minds and they are no longer needed.

We have so much to lose and everything to gain by rejecting the Main Stream Press and their messiah!

Take A Deep Breath!

With a little over three weeks before the elections, the race for President and Vice President are getting intense. The polls along with the media spin are actually making our heads spin. So it is time now for all of us to take a step back and take a very deep breath and do some analysis of own.

It is amazing that with the tools we have at our disposable that we are still very much influenced by the media, political pundits from both sides and all these crazy poll numbers that change every single day. In fact I was reading a Zogby poll just the other day, in one article it had Obama up by 4 points and in another article on the same web page on the same day he was up by 6 points done by the same pollsters! So the question we are faced with is, who are we to believe?

That is why I am saying that we need to take a deep breath and start doing some research for ourselves. Do not believe all that you read in the news media or hear on television, all it will do is add to the confusion. Taking it one step further, do not believe all that you hear from the candidate's mouth. Instead base you decision on who to vote for on their past records. The past reveals a lot about a person and what they will do in the future. This not only applies to the race for the presidency but also applies to our local and statewide races. Observe what our current leaders are doing, then decide what action you must take.

We must stop relying on what we hear or read and make an informed decision on what our own research tells us. Then we must make the decision based on what we are comfortable with and realize whatever the outcome, we will be stuck with our decisions.

Now, regardless of who wins we are instructed in I Timothy 2:1-4 that we are to pray for our leaders. We are to lift them up in prayer. We also need to pray for our country as we can see how it is being torn apart by the divisions of our people and our leaders.

VOTER FRAUD - FACT OR FICTION?

 I recently attended a Jazz Fest that is held in San Antonio every year. The weather was awesome so I took my Great Dane Buddy and decided to relax and enjoy all the fine jazz bands that come from all over to perform.

This time was a little unusual as I noticed that several of the people that were there were people that had been displaced by hurricane Ike. They were staying at one of the shelters the city had set aside which apparently was near by. Many had gravitated towards me as they were taken in by my Great Dane. As they gathered to pet my pup I engaged in some small talk with them and come to find out that all of them were from the Galveston area.

I also learned that they had lost all that they had and my heart was aching for them as I never have known what it is to lose all that you own. Come to find out that these people were homeless when they lived in Galveston and were talking among themselves how they could con FEMA into giving them money and were bragging that some of their friends already had received checks from the government.

About this time there were about six men and women wearing Tee-Shirts with the ACORN name across it and were walking and talking to people in attendance. They then noticed the
homeless people and talked to them about registering to vote. I overheard the conversation between the ACORN representatives and the homeless evacuees. The homeless were telling the ACORN representatives that they did not have an actual mailing address and some did not even have a good source of identification. Then I heard one of the ACORN people tell them not to worry, that they just needed their names and that they, the ACORN people would provide the rest of the information. Some of the homeless went ahead and registered and others just walked away.

Well, I kind of put this out of my head until I came across the following video on You Tube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXdt20k5WtE&NR=1. Now as I read about the concerns over voter fraud I thought back to this incident at the jazz fest and just shake my head in disgust.

Will this election be stolen,via voter fraud? After all these are the very tactics put fourth by Saul Alinsky in his books and these are the very lessons being applied by the Obama team. I wish I would have snapped at that moment and notified someone but I didn't. However I turned an opportunity which I thought I had lost to correct a wrong into one where I could have a positive influence on this election. I have volunteered to work the polling areas as one who will be checking for voter fraud. I want to help in taking back America and I encourage everyone to get involved. We can make a difference!

OBAMA: DANCING WITH THE DEVIL

 

Barrack Obama scares the hell out of me and this has nothing to do with race in any way, shape or form! He scares me because I honestly believe that he has sold his soul to the devil in order to achieve his goals.  The more I look into his past and the more I see and observe his present behavior, the more it convinces me of this.

In the beginning,  I too, like many others was taken in with his charm, his articulate rhetoric and his beautiful family. For a moment I thought he was the real deal. That this was the man who could actually make a difference for America and the change he spoke about would actually bring about the change we all would like to see in our government. I saw a refreshing face, an outsider, a new type of politician.

I then thought to myself that I should look into this “wonderful” man with all the refreshing new ideas and burst of “positive” energy because while the “main stream” media was building him up, the other side was tearing him down. But then I was faced with the dilemma of where I was going to find information that I could rely on and make an informed decision.

Being an amateur genealogist I started looking into Barrack Obama by applying the same principles you would when looking into your own family history. You start with what you know and work backwards. I knew that he was a Senator from Illinois and prior to that he was a State Senator and Community Organizer from the Southside of Chicago, all admirable positions. What I did not know was who the people were that had some of the greatest influences in his life.

The one name that caught my attention more than anyone else was Saul Alinsky. I knew that Mr. Alinsky was an extreme radical and agitator but what I did not know was how much of an influence his writings had on Mr. Obama. I had never read any of Mr. Alinsky’s books until his name kept being brought up over and over again in reference to Obama. I then decided to read Alinsky’s book and the first one I read was an eye opener. It was the Rules for Radicals, (A Primer for Realistic Radicals). A book dedicated to Lucifer, “the very first radical…”

Alinsky, who is a confirmed atheist, believed that the here and now is all there is, and on the last page of a 1972 Playboy Interview with Saul D. Alinsky, he said the following:

ALINSKY: Sometimes it seems to me that the question people should ask is not "Is there life after death?" but "Is there life after birth?" I don't know whether there's anything after this or not. I haven't seen the evidence one way or the other and I don't think anybody else has either. But I do know that man's obsession with the question comes out of his stubborn refusal to face up to his own mortality. Let's say that if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.

PLAYBOY: Why?

ALINSKY: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I've been with the have-nots. Over here, if you're a have-not, you're short of dough. If you're a have-not in hell, you're short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I'll start organizing the have-nots over there.

PLAYBOY: Why them?

ALINSKY: They're my kind of people.

This to me was eye-opening and revealing especially as I continued to follow Barrack and Michele’s speeches and political philosophies. One such instance was during the Democratic National Convention, Michele Obama was speaking and about six and a half minutes into her speech she said the following: “…and Barrack stood up that day and he spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about the world as it is and the world as it should be….”  This came right out of Alinsky’s book, Here's an excerpt from Chapter 2, Rules for Radicals:

"The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive -- but real -- allies of the Haves...The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means... The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be."

This was the beginning of my turning point in thinking that Obama was a new and refreshing change in the politics as usual. Then came his trip to Europe, his acceptance speech at Invesco Field, the make believe Presidential Seal on the podiums he spoke from and all the pretentious back drops surrounding all of his appearances. The “main stream” media did not help by stroking his ego and making him feel that he was a messiah. So as I continued to search the teachings of Alinsky I saw this passage in Rules for Radicals: "The ego of the organizer is stronger and more monumental than the ego of the leader. The organizer is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which a man can reach -- to create, to be a 'great creator', to play God." 

True to form it seemed that Mr. Obama was taking the teachings of his master to heart. In fact this led to Saul Alinsky’s son to write in a little publicized letter to the Boston Globe where he stated the following:

"Barack Obama's training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness," the author continued. "When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lesson well.

"I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008," the author said. "It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday."

The person who signed the letter, Lee David Alinsky, is indeed the son of the late radical.

Now, even though Barrack Obama has refused to publicly acknowledge the teachings of Alinsky in public he has stated that the community organizing he did in Chicago was "the best education I ever had, better than anything I got at Harvard Law School."

As I continue reading more of Alinsky’s books the more I see his philosophies being applied by Senator Obama and the more I am convinced that he has sold his soul to the Devil , since one of the Devil’s best disciple, Saul Alinsky,  is his teacher and  has taught him well.

BE PATRIOTIC PAY MORE TAXES

This is what Joe Biden wants us to do. He wants us to bail out the American economy by paying more taxes. He has basically suggested that it would be the patriotic thing to do.

Either this guy is a complete idiot or he must think that Americans are. For us to cough up more of our hard earned money and give to the thieves in Washington the opportunity to misappropriate and to enrich themselves would be like giving a drug addict access to your bank account.

Look at the mess with Freddie and Fannie, gee, who do you think has benefited from this garbage? Just read the list of who has received the most money from these two government backed institutions and guess whose team they are on in the presidential race. Gee, and guess who has received the most money from them......I will give you three guesses and the first two will not count. And he wants to change business as usual......this is laughable.

The more I discover about this man that wants to become president and the more I see the "Run for The Hills" congress, the more I hope that America will wake up and smell the coffee and defeat Obama/Biden and kick those "do nothing" thieves out of Washington.

Barack Obama #2 on Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac’s Lobbyist/Campaign Contribution List from 1989-2008

I pray that America discovers their back bone so that we can take back our country and our
core values.

Pray for our country and may God open your eyes to evil that we face!

VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK

 

Should we be voting for Barrack Obama because he is black? According to Joe Biden we should. While campaigning in North Carolina he made the following statement and picked up by the Associated Press.

CHARLOTTE – Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden, campaigning in North Carolina where black votes could help swing the state to the Democrats, said today that electing a black person to the White House would be transformative.
Biden said the policies of running mate Barack Obama make his presidency even more urgent and declared this to be the most important election that any living person has seen in their lifetime. But he particularly singled out the meaning of electing someone who is black.
"That will be a transformative event in American politics and internationally," Biden said. "That all by itself will be significant...."

Granted, that electing Obama would be transformative but is this a good enough reason to elect him, because he is black? Or should he be elected because he is the best choice to lead America forward. It is amazing how Biden and Obama always make this about race. Who here is playing the race card?

I prefer on voting for a person not because of their color, race or creed but because he or she is the best qualified to lead and make this country better than we are. Time after time Americans have risen to the occasion to make this the greatest country on earth.

I am for the person who will give us less government, less taxes and less regulation and protect the lives of the innocent.

That is my opinion, what is yours?
 
God Bless You and God Bless America!

CALL IN THE SECOND STRING

What a man! It seems as though Barrack Obama and Joe Biden are afraid of taking on Sarah Palin so Obama has decided to call in the second string to do his dirty work.
 
He had no use for Hillary Clinton as a competitor in the primaries and certainly no use for her as a running mate.
 
Yet he is willing for her to take on Sarah Palin. I wonder how long it will be before he will ask Michelle to do the same.
 
I guess both he and poor old Joe are afraid that if they take on Mrs. Palin also known as the Baracuda that she will slice them and dice them then hang them out to dry. They are afraid I am sure that the voters will realize that she has more of a backbone than the both combined! They are afraid that she will show the public that she is more of a man.
 
So now they are wanting to hide behind a woman's skirt but in Hillary's case her pant suit.
 
Man O Man this is so sad and totally laughable.
 
This reminds me of when my youngest daughter kick a boy's butt for picking on her younger brother but in this case it was understandable, the boy was about five years older and twice the size of my son.
 
Way to go Barry and Joey! You have my vote for wimps of the year!

PALIN VS BIDEN

Ever since Sarah Palin has been selected to be McCain's VP pick the biased liberal media, liberal women's group and the Hollywood elite have beat up on Sarah Palin for having a child with Down's Syndrome and her ability to be able to handle the rigors of this offic
 
 However I have never seen where the same media attacked Joe Biden when his wife was tragically taken in an auto accident, if the rigors of being a senator would be too much for him to handle especially in view of the fact that he had small children at home. In fact they praise him for being this awesome and dedicated father who was able to handle his duties and take the train home every day to take care and love his children.
 
A double standard? Absolutely!
 
The difference is that Joe Biden is a liberal Democrat and Sarah Palin is a smart, articulate and conservative Republican.
 
If Sarah Palin would have been a liberal Democrat she would have been praised as Mother Theresa. Liberals just cannot get over the fact that this lady is an awesome pick who is far superior to their Presidential and Vice Presidential  choice and they are quaking in their boots. They know that she has energized the conservative base and they did not expect this curve ball.
 
As far as the Hollywood elite, what do they know about family values? Abosultely nothing!
 
The only thing that I see coming out from all this is their sheer ignorance and bias.
 
As for myself, I say God Bless You and your family Sarah Palin and keep the faith. You are an awesome woman and you have a very awesome family! You Go Girl!

THE CASE AGAINST HILLARY

Democrats and Republicans alike felt that an unbeatable ticket would have been Obama/Clinton.
 
In fact that ticket was often referred to as the "Dream Team". Yet is was not to be as in the end Joe Biden was selected to be Obama's running mate.
Granted that we vote for the top of the ticket, yet with all his weaknesses Obama was in serious need of help due to his lack of experience. Hillary could have shored up Obama to help carry him over the top.
 
So why was Hillary passed over . Why was she dis-respected by not even vetting her. A lot of reasons have been given and I also have my reasons and they are as follows:
  • Picking Hillary Clinton would have upstaged Barrack Obama because the spot light would have been on her instead of him and as everyone knows by now, Obama has a huge ego and that ego would never allow him to be upstaged.
  • Hillary is by far smarter than Obama. She has more experience on the national scene, being very involved for eight years in Bill Clinton's administration.
  • Her tenure in the U.S. Senate is far supeior to Obama's mere 140 days.
  • Hillary received more of the popular vote than Obama and actually won the bigger states. So there is that bitterness that still exists in the fact that she is liked more than he is and again out comes his ego.
  • Barrack and Michele were hoping that they could make history by being elected to be the first black president but here again Bill and Hillary beat them to it as Bill Clinton was known as the First Black President.
  • Hillary would have at her side Bill Clinton who is far superior to Barrack although lately Bill has had diarrea of the mouth.
  • Lastly, Barrack would spend the majority of his time looking over his shoulder to see when the knife would be inserted and twisted in his back.

So as everyone can see The Dream Ticket would not have been so dreamy and Barrack did what was the safest thing he could have done and that was pick poor old Joe Biden.
