Obama and Chicago Politics

Coming of age in Chicago and its suburbs, one learns early on that the region’s politics are wrought with corruption, greed, and cutthroat tactics. Needless to say, to rise to the top of such a rugged and dirty political environment, a Chicago politician needs to adapt to his or her surroundings. By consorting with the likes of Wright, Rezko, and Ayers (the ones vetted so far) Obama adapted and excelled in a town where the word politician is literally synonymous with crook. There is a reason why any good parent scrutinizes their child’s friends. A person’s character and beliefs can be surmised by the company they keep. Didn’t your Mother tell you that?

Emerson said “What you are shouts so loudly I cannot hear what you say”. The problem is that half of Americans believe the rhetoric they hear and ignore the actions and associations of the, would be messiah, who ascended from the sewer that is Chicago politics. After wallowing in the sludge for so many years, the smell does not wash away so easily.

Our only hope is that the blind that are fooled by the rhetoric and ignore the actions and associations of the man, will somehow awaken to the truth. It is starting to seem that Obama is just another crooked Chicago politician who does and says what he needs to misdirect his adoring public from the truth. Associations and friendships do matter. If the press had worked as hard to vet Obama as they did to prop him up early on, Hillary would be the nominee today. In this election we cannot count on the press.

Obama Oppressor of Blacks?

Since Obama’s main campaign theme is change, let us hope that he intends to change his policy of oppressing the black community. It is ironic that Hussein Obama achieved his rise to power on the backs of the very people he claimed to champion while he was helping to hold them back. Obama is an oppressor of Blacks? How can this be? Read on.

By financially supporting reverend Wright’s church, subscribing to reverend Wright’s message for twenty years, and enabling the status quo in the black community by providing entitlements, Hussein Obama is complicit in the oppression of the very community which he claims to be helping.

Wright’s message of anger, fear, and hatred of Whites and America in general perpetuates bigotry and teaches the black community that they can never be successful in an integrated world. Instead of preaching togetherness, tolerance, and brotherly love among all people, Wright’s philosophy of separatism and hatred ensures that his congregation remains dependent on government handouts, has limited hope, and has no vision beyond their own community.

After twenty years of attendance in this divisive arena, it is impossible that Obama was unaware of the effects reverend Wright’s vitriolic message had on those around him. Like Jackson, Sharpton, and Wright before him, the Harvard educated Obama was keen enough to realize that dependent people are controllable people. If Wright’s congregation were truly enlightened they would be self-reliant, responsible for their own problems, and have no need to blame the white man or government for their lot in life.

Obama is no leader. Obama is an oppressor. The true Black leaders are Michael Steele, Larry elders, and even Bill Cosby. Because Michael, Larry, and Bill did not spend their days resenting the white man or the government, they spent their time bettering themselves enabling them all to rise to the top of their chosen fields. They did not listen to the prejudiced ravings of angry black leaders, but chose instead to cling to hope, hard work, and conservative values.

I hope that the followers of the Sharptonesque dogma can open their eyes and minds to realize that the only thing holding them back is their own perceptions. Shame on you Obama for using your own church and community to further your own ambitions, while stifling the hopes and dreams of those you purport to serve.

Zacarias Moussaoui

Shut down Guantanamo Bay? I must confess I agree. How many of our tax dollars have gone to keep the likes of Zacarias Moussaoui fat and happy? Why are we spending millions of dollars to feed, cloth and shelter these animals when a water board, bullet, and an at sea burial can be had for a few dollars?

Even in court it is obvious that these malevolent muslims have no remorse, no feeling, and no conscience. It is time we quit wasting tax dollars on these radical terrorists who are known murderers of innocent civilians. I am willing however to grant my tax dollars to be used for car batteries and genital sized jumper cables while these beasts are interrogated by whatever means necessary.

It is impossible to fathom the degree of naivety which produces the belief that if we are nice to our terrorist captives, that somehow they will cease their decapitations, tortures, and plain old murders. Wise up! They hate us. They will never stop trying to kill us and they will never stop trying to inflict their morbid fanatical beliefs on all with whom they disagree.

"We Speak English"

My Partner and I are finding it difficult to understand how advertising that our cleaning company “Cecille’s Residential Services” speaks English is controversial. We live in the United States of America, yet most housekeeping companies send non-English speaking workers to their client’s homes. Needless to say the English speaking clients were totally frustrated with the lack of communication from their non-English speaking help.

Somehow, if we advertise “We Speak English” we are deemed unfair, discriminating, or politically incorrect in some esoteric manner I have yet to conceive. This is especially puzzling since my business partner emigrated from the Philippines and English is her second language. While our clients rave about the clear communication they receive, many non-English speaking “residents” that take personal offense to our advertising slogan. One disgruntled “resident” went so far as to write obscenities on one of our vehicles.

As we drive down the road we either get the thumbs up or another finger which I will decline to name by position. With hundreds of businesses proudly touting “se habla Espanol”, I see no reason why one business cannot say “We Speak English”. I find it ironic that in the United States of America we must advertise that we speak English because most residents automatically assume housekeepers we do not.

Fred Thompson shoulda woulda coulda

Having been a single parent, I decided to enroll in a parenting class. The thesis of the class was consistency. Consistency is vital to instilling trust and security, not only to a child, but to the American people.

Ironically, consistency is what hampered Fred Thompson’s campaign. While Romney, McCain, and Huckabee tailored their messages and resumes to suit the demographic du jour, Thompson remained true to himself, his record, and his party never altering his message or resume. It is one thing to boast about straight talk and an entirely different thing to walk the straight walk.

Higher taxes, pro-life, and shamnesty, were part of all the top republican candidates’ resumes except one – Fred Thompson. Yet no one seemed to care. Fred’s lack of blind ambition was too foreign a concept to the illiterates who could only surmise it meant lethargy. I am not part republican or part conservative and I will not accept a nominee who is only part conservative. The time to wake up has passed and it is too late to elect a President who is true to the values and principles we true conservatives hold dear.

Come Back Shane! Oops I mean Fred

Bill Clinton's Legacy

I awoke in a cold sweat. The vision from the dream so horrible I am compelled to share it all just to ease my own suffering. A dream so dark, if it came to pass, my appetite would surely lapse into oblivion henceforth. In my dream, I was on the White House tour. After turning a corner, a slightly over weight male intern appears. He is visibly shaken and obviously suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome.

As it turns out, Hillary was continuing Bill’s legacy. Despite the warnings of his mind’s instinct for survival, the doomed intern, eager to advance his career, succumbs to President Hillary’s advances. The poor intern’s psyche is devastated. Neither he nor the country will ever be the same. The headlines consisted of phrases like “Presidential love-stained Armani suit” and “Mr. Monica Tells All.”

Thank God there will not be another Clinton in the White House!

Super Delegates

Our Founding Father’s system of government allows everyone to say who represents them in government. The Electoral College process never quite sat right with me because even though a candidate wins the popular vote they can still lose the election.
If a candidate obtains more delegates in the Electoral College by winning certain states, they can win the election with less popular votes.

Still, since the Electoral College was set up by those wiser than me hundreds of year ago, I accept it as our democratic process.

Let’s fast forward to today’s democratic primary elections, not only can a candidate in the Democratic Party win by state delegates and lose the popular vote, they can win without the majority of state delegates or the popular vote.

In today’s Democratic Party elections, an elite group of “super” delegates determines the outcome of elections. By totally disregarding the votes of the people, these “super” delegates can nominate whoever they chose.

Isn’t having an elite group of “Super” people pick a Presidential candidate equal to fascism? The whole idea that 800 can over ride 18 million is not democracy. No protest? No rebellion over this super delegate process? The fact super delegates even exist shows the fascist socialistic philosophy inherent in the Democratic Party. God forbid they trust their own members.

Whether the ‘super” delegates determine the outcome of the election or not, the fact that they even have the power to determine the nominee means democracy has been abandoned.

McCain vs Hussein (Obama)

Although I do not agree with John McCain on every issue, I whole heartedly believe he is a man of great character and integrity and towers over Obama in the areas of trustworthiness, judgment and experience. While McCain presents the persona of an elder statesman and hero, Obama reminds me of a spoiled mendacious child conniving, hiding, and avoiding the facts to get his way.

Whenever controversy arises for the Obama campaign, he calls it a distraction and says “we need to move on”. Well, yes of course he needs to move on before the curtain is lifted and the wizard’s true colors become evident.

If Obama can be mentored and preached to by a man for twenty years and not share, or at the very least know, his opinions and feelings about our great country, can we believe he is telling the truth? If he is telling the truth can we trust his judgment? I will answer for you – NO.

Obama is a man who does not have the time to go on the O’Reilly factor, the most watched cable news show in the country, yet he seems to have ample time to pencil in Ellen, The View, American Idol, Saturday Night Live, and Jon Stewart to name just a few. He calls himself a Uniter [sic] but excludes millions of potential voters and tough questions by hiding out in friendly liberal venues.

John McCain does not need to claim a “misspeak”, embellish his resume, or feign ignorance. His record stands for itself and I look forward to watching him take the child who posed his way to the democratic nomination to task in the upcoming general election.
