Holy Cows: George W Bush - buffoon or great leader
So, the hot news now is Barack Obama.
Obama this, Obama that... Naturally, it is very laudable that the United States may have chosen to look beyond the issue of race and opted for a person purely on the merit of his character. But what will they find?
The usual hot air that Washington politicians seem to have made their own. Mr Obama is no different. We’re just too politically correct to say that the only thing refreshing about him is his colour. So we say he’s “bipartisan”, or he’s a “uniter
Whatever happened to leadership and honesty as presidential traits? I happen to believe that the only leader in the West to have these two admirable qualities in droves is the leader of the free world: George W Bush.
Yes, we’ve all heard the Bushisms and laughed at them but do you really think somebody supposedly that thick can make it to the top of the most sophisticated political system the world has ever seen?
No, and that is because Mr Bush is far cleverer than most of his predecessors. He may not have been a Rhodes Scholar, but he has the ability to reach out to his people and read them.

LIBMEDIA: FARC-ED UP ANOTHER STORY
So we had a superb rescue of hostages from a jungle encampment by Columbian military. Fantastic.
Now, look closely at the articles from the libmedia. Do you ever see the words “leftist rebels” (The FARC)? How about “Communist rebels”?
FOX used the word “leftist” but try finding the others actually usually the proper adjectives.
Also, the rescue was done by disguising the copter as one from a “Human Rights” group to get “instant trust” from the terrorist-communists. Heard that on TV yet? Three leading congressional democrats also had minor negative supporting roles for the leftist rebels! Heard that?
Try the WSJ for an update. Apparently only talk radio hosts like Boortz are allowed to read the WHOLE story. Where would we be is we trusted the mainstream libmedia for ALL the story?
See, when the libmedia see some negative factual information about their political heroes…it just gets omitted. It just becomes censored.

So There!
A few weeks ago, I listed some of the major recent successes of President Bush. The so-called worst, most incompetent president ever got funding for Iraq and Afghanistan through the end of his presidency, is getting his warrantless wiretapping program to track terrorist communications into the United States, got two waves of tax cuts through, is winning the war in Iraq which may lead to a transformation of the Middle East, and has worked tirelessly to prevent another attack here at home.
Worst president ever? Incompetent boob? Numbskull?
He's looking pretty successful to me.
Today comes word in the New York Post that although his job approval numbers remain dismal, the president is a fundraising machine.
The so-called "radioactive" Republican commander-in-chief has already raised $70 million for Republican candidates. (Somebody out there is giving a lot of money because they still like and admire the guy.)
And the Post points out, "Since the start of 2007, Bush alone is responsible for raising more money than the entire DNC."
"Bush alone." Bush has been alone through much of his presidency. They say that that job is the loneliest one in the world, and Bush (except for a few weeks of "unity" after September 11, 2001) has stood alone, taking incoming fire from all directions.
"Bush alone." He doesn't seem to mind it, though. Maybe his faith tells him he's never truly alone. Maybe his family and close friends give him the companionship he needs. Maybe he's simply comfortable in his own skin, his own mind, and with his own decisions.
For a guy who has been derided endlessly and mercilessly, he's racking up an impressive array of history-making victories.
Bush alone: successful, and still president.

The World Population Problem
There is an elephant standing in the corner, ignored. It is named World Population. Global pollution, food shortages, fuel requirements, energy requirements, and practically everything else gets worse with rising world population. What is the proper stand for us conservatives to take when it comes to population control. Eventually this elephant will have to be addressed. China limits a couple to one child. The welfare careerists sure don't want that policy.
What's the answer?

Iraq has yellowcoke
Ok, now we know that iraq had yellowcake, was it a good idea for the Bush adminstration to keep it a secret? For many years we been hearing Bush lied people died, this is proof he didn't lie. This takes the sails out of the rational for opposing the war.
My Friend
My Friend, would you please get the "Environmentalists Movement" off because I redid it to the way it is suppose to be. Sorry!
California Fires
And again another fellow saved his property with clearing away the died growth on his property and planted avocadoes and saved his land from the fires. Used water and everything he could to save his property.
Good for him!!!!!! Bravo - and to hell with the environmentalists, who just don't care about individual rights or freedoms in this country. The Environmentalists are laughing about all this that is happening and angered that people would want to protect their families and properties and livihood.
They probably think this was a Act of God wanting to punish people for their sins.

Barr Is McCain's Nightmare
Zogby: Barr Is McCain's Nightmare
Monday, July 7, 2008 9:14 AM
UTICA, New York – As the race for President passes the Independence Day holiday and heads toward the dog days of summer, Sen. Barack Obama holds a 44% to 38% lead over Sen. John McCain in the horserace contest, but also leads by a substantial margin in a state-by-state Electoral College tally, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.
The extensive national poll of of 46,274 likely voters also shows Libertarian candidate and former Congressman Bob Barr wins 6% support, eating into McCain’s needed conservative base of support.
Neither Obama nor McCain breaks a 50% favorable rating. Obama is viewed as very or somewhat favorable by 49.7%. For McCain, that number is 43.2%.
Pollster John Zogby: “Obama is in the driver’s seat right now, especially where it really counts - in the electoral votes. Bob Barr could really hurt McCain’s chances. McCain can’t afford the level of slippage to Barr we found among conservatives in this polling. While there has been plenty of talk about Obama’s recent emphasis on his centrist positions, he can get away with it during these dog days of the campaign as McCain finds himself still trying to shore up the conservative base. McCain will have to move to the center because right now Obama is clobbering him among independents. But there is the rub for McCain: Bob Barr has some juice among conservatives and is hurting him in several states. ”
Bob Barr receives the support of 7% of voters who identify themselves as conservative or very conservative voters. Barr gets 43% of libertarians and 11% of independents. McCain’s support among conservatives is 74%. On the left, Ralph Nader gets less than 2% nationally.
Obama has the support of 83% of Democrats, while McCain gets 75% of Republicans.
Independents break 39% for Obama, compared with 31% who support McCain.
For white voters, race doesn’t appear to be playing a significant factor. McCain leads Obama, 43%-39%, with Barr at 6%. Among black voters, Obama wins the vast majority of support.

OIL AT $400 A BARREL BY NEXT SUMMER
Issue 769 July 8, 2008
OIL AT $400 A BARREL BY NEXT SUMMER
I think this is a growing possibility. Let me
explain.
I have given a lot of thought to this question: "What
is the worst-case scenario that has a relatively high
probability of taking place over the next six months that I
want to prepare against?"
The worst thing that could happen to the American
economy at any time would be the detonation of a nuclear
bomb in the financial district of New York City. On a par
with that would be the release of airborne anthrax in the
same part of town. The terror caused by such an attack
would cripple the banking system within hours. This would
spread to the entire world. The economic breakdown would
be rapid, and it would be extensive. I cannot think of any
area of the economy that it would not affect adversely.
We have no idea what the odds are, for or against, for
such an act of terrorism. Given the fact that it has not
happened yet, the odds seem to be against it. So, looking
at those events that have a reasonable probability of
taking place over the next six months, we should not list
this sort of terrorist mega-attack as being high on the
list of priorities that we should be preparing for.
The Frog Theory
Undeniable facts from history.
Let's learn from our mistakes
The Present American Dilemma, The Frog Theory
WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF???
Now that the two primary Presidential candidates are clearly identified, with major differences in their experience, background and platform, it is important to look back to see if history is destined to repeat itself.
I just received an email from Dr. Larry J. Tracy, a friend of mine for over 50 years. I want to share it with you. His message is titled "The Frog Theory." He explains why we never see danger until it is too late.
THE FROG THEORY
If you drop a frog in boiling water he will leap right out. If you slowly heat the water he will be content until it's too late to get out. That is exactly how history works. It moves slowly and we never really see any danger until it's too late.
Remember how suppressed workers were before unions came along? The unions leveled the playing field. Unfortunately, over a long period of time the pendulum swung too far. Slowly, businesses and factories closed and jobs left the country. We were comfortable and didn't see the change coming. We blamed everyone except ourselves for what happened. We weren't alert to how slow things change over time.
World War II, and the Korean War, demonstrated how powerful a united nation could be. Our nation, and our families, were united. The father was the head of the family and the President was the head of the nation. Both were highly respected. We were content and happy.
We were good at fighting a hot war but we were unprepared to fight a cold war with the communists in the 50's. They knew they couldn't change us but they didn't care. Their philosophy was to wait it out and capture the minds of our children. They loaded our colleges with many of their professors and waited. It didn't take long to see the results.
The 60''s ushered in the radicals, drug culture, student protesters, and the Vietnam War. The aim of the cold war was to divide and conquer. They divided our families and the nation. The secret to defeating a polite and respectful people is to scream. The louder and longer you scream the better your chance of winning. Radicals are masters at this form of attack. They know if you constantly scream and repeat a lie it will eventually become the truth.
The media, and Hollywood, hammered us with hate America themes and stories. Our service men, and women, were jeered, cursed, and spit on. Even the people, who later wanted to become their President, thrashed them. We lost our first War in history. There was no hero's homecoming for our fighting men and women.
The Reverend King, who was raised in the old school, peacefully changed the race issue and united the people. When he died the new breed of leaders like the Jesse Jackson's, Lewis Farakon,'s Al Sharpton's, and Rev. Wright's put a lid on his efforts and turned racism into a money making machine.
Corporations were green-mailed by threats of protests, product boycotts, or endless lawsuits. Every issue, large or small, became a race issue. The public recoiled in fear of being called a racist. Their voices were silenced because one word could cost you a career, get you fired, or get you sued.
Even politicians buckled under to the pressure. The Florida legislature issued a formal apology for having slavery 200 years ago. They were thanked by being asked for compensation. There is no end in sight for this kind of nonsense. America didn't capture slaves and bring them to America . Their own people sold them to slave traders from several nations. This knowledge doesn't stop the screamers. History is what it is and you can't change it. There have been many tragic events in history. You acknowledge them and move on.
They divided our nation into two separate Americas. We now have Americans, and African-Americans, although Africa has nothing to do with being an American. You can be one or the other but not both. You are what you were born to be. You do not subordinate our country to any foreign nation. It's equivalent to flying the African flag above the Stars and Stripes. If you hyphenate two countries America always comes first.
This election year could be the turning point in our history because the frog theory has come into play. It's time to step back and look at how the country has slowly changed since the cold war started. Don't get caught up in all the hype.
George McGovern was the first Presidential candidate to test the waters with college students. The Clinton s' played a big role in his campaign. It was the worst campaign ever run. He was crushed in the election.
Step two was to infiltrate all the information vehicles such as radio, newspapers, magazines, TV and movies. They were quite successful at that. Jimmy Carter was the first President to demonstrate the leadership skills of the far left. Weak military, high taxes, runaway inflation, 19% mortgage rates, and plain incompetence ended his career in Washington. Iran, a small country at the time, took American hostages and kicked sand in our face. By negotiating from weakness Carter could not get the hostages released.
The big benefit of the Carter years is that they were followed by the Reagan years. The nation got a clear look at the difference between a weak nation and a strong nation. Every student should know this difference. When Ronald Reagan took over the hostages were quickly released, taxes were lowered, inflation dropped, mortgage rates dropped, and the military was strengthened. Russia quickly waved the white flag and waited for another Democrat term.
Clinton took over Carters uncompleted social programs. He weakened the military and tried to pass large government programs. An Intern derailed his Presidency. While he was tied up with his personal problems his lawyers ran the country. He passed up three opportunities to take out Osama Bin Laden. This eventually cost us the loss of our Twin Towers, thousands of American lives, and got us involved in a war with Iraq.
By the end of his term the left had captured a large share of the media and it flexed its muscle in 2000. The hate Bush campaign got off to a roaring start. The brainwashing theory of repeating the same story over and over again was launched.
There were endless stories about our evil nation and its President. Top-secret plans were leaked to the press and printed for the entire world to see. Hollywood cranked out documentaries about the evil Bush administration and our evil military. They laid the groundwork for the next election. The ACLU flooded the courts with lawsuits and the Democrat party became a law firm. Almost every incumbent, or his or her spouse, is a lawyer.
They now have the perfect candidate because they can squash criticism by playing the race card. If you don't like Obama, or criticize him, you are a racist. They can hide his inexperience and background by turning him into a rock star and singing change and hope. They don't tell us what kind of change, or how it will be done, only that you should hope for the best. By keeping the hype going they don't have to put anything of substance on the table.
The only thing we really know about Obama is that his wife has never been proud to be an American. They want us to believe that his liberal college professors, Rev. Pfleger, his ties to radicals Bill Ayer and Lewis Farakon, and listening to the Rev. Wright's hate talks for 20 years, had no influence on his thinking. If they didn't, then who did? He wasn't in business and didn't see fit to serve his country. These people launched his political career and their organizations received earmarks in return for their campaign donations and political help. They must have had some influence. Rev. Wright's church received over $15 million. That's only one small local church. Think on a national scale.
The change being promoted is a change back to the Carter years. It started in 1996 when the lawyer party took over. There have been endless lawsuits and investigations in retaliation for the Clinton years. It keeps the lawyers busy but does nothing for the economy. The economy has been in a downward spiral since they took over.
Returning to the Carter years of high taxes, high inflation, and a weak military is not the change we are looking for. We cannot cower to a bunch of crazies whose only goal in life is to kill us.
The old sage's (over 50) will have to play a big role in this election. The young people simply don't know what the aged know. The advantage of aging is the knowledge you accumulated. You know what United States means. You know what the seldom-heard word respect means. You know how wonderful freedom and independence is. You know the difference between a strong and a weak nation; and you know what it takes to keep it strong.. You know history because you have lived it.
Although the old guard is dying off, and getting too tired to fight, they have to muster one more charge. If they don't, our children, and grandchildren, will never know the joy and freedom that is the bedrock of our country. The heat is slowly being turned up and the water is getting hot. The old frogs better start jumping before it's too late.
