On The First Night of Hanukkah, I Got Linux Mint

Well, after a huge hard drive crash, and no less than 5 Windows reinstalls, I am back on line. Over the course of the last two weeks, I have become very disillusioned with our government, the church, and last but not least, Microsoft.
I ask you; what sort of billion dollar company floods the market with their product, then leaves them high and dry? Answer: Microsoft. Their "tech support" is less than desirable, and if in the event you come across a person that can help you, chances are that you'll have to pay for their "services."

I have searched the net over, and after trying out about 8 different Live CD's from different Linux distributions, I have settled on Linux Mint.
...and I couldn't be happier. The tech support is phenominal, and the response time from the forrums can not be beat. I have my Audacity for the podcast, Firefox for the internet, and a ton of applicatins that I haven't gotten to yet; all of which are free. Free, as in they don't cost a penny... and you still have a vast reservour of help on the internet for each piece of software.

So, without further ado, I have a lot of catching up to do.
The nation is going down the tubes. There are rumors flying about
the government putting a "code" on every bullet to be sold. There are stories about a 500% mark up on all amunition. Gas prices continue to linger around $1.50 even though the price of crude oil has dropped below 25% of what it was a month ago. Obama is even lying to his Vice President now, saying that he will be present at every crucial decision (eh*hem... right). Jessie Jackson wants his name back of all things. The press is blaming the political correct housing disaster that was forged by Democrats on , you guessed it, George Bush.
and the most ridiculous piece of news of this decade: the Associated press is declaring that the cold weather snap is proof that Global Warming is happening in a big way.
...and that my friends, is just plain stupid.

I am going to once again move away from the political side of Mangdiddles, and start doing more Torah based writing. Stick around, we are in for a Minty fresh new start!
Happy Chanukkah!

Off To A Telling Start

He is getting ready to take the wheel of a sinking ship, and rather than going to church, he goes to the gym.
--------------------------------

"Obama skips church, heads to gym"

President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend church services since winning the White House earlier this month, a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors.

On the three Sundays since his election, Obama has instead used his free time to get in workouts at a Chicago gym.

Asked about the president-elect's decision to not attend church, a transition aide noted that the Obamas valued their faith experience in Chicago but were concerned about the impact their large retinue may have on other parishioners.

"Because they have a great deal of respect for places of worship, they do not want to draw unwelcome or inappropriate attention to a church not used to the attention their attendance would draw," said the aide.

Both President-elect George W. Bush and President-elect Bill Clinton managed to attend church in the weeks after they were elected.

In November of 1992, Clinton went to services in Little Rock, Ark., on the three weekends following his election, taking pre-church jogs on the first two and attending on the third weekend a Catholic Mass with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, with whom he was trying to smooth over lingering campaign tensions.

America's Tooth Trouble

With the elections finally over, I must say that I have felt a sense of relief, in spite of our new Socialist leadership. This feeling is hard to explain, but I'll give it a shot...
It is sort of like having a throbbing, aching toothache day in and day out for months on end. Every time you wake up, it is there - when you lay down to sleep, it is there, nagging at your senses. All you can think of is that annoying, painful tooth. It permeates every aspect of your life; sometimes going as far as to wake you up from your restless sleep... providing you ever get to sleep in the first place.
One day, you make it to the long awaited dentist appointment. You know that there is going to be a lot of pain on that day. You dread it, while at the same time, you know it is necessary.
Upon entering the dentist's office, you are told that you are going to have the tooth pulled.
"Pull it" you say, knowing that it will hurt even more, but it is necessary.

This is where our analogy takes a turn.

While pulling the tooth, you begin to sense a smidgen of relief... then the tooth breaks off. It is terribly painful, and the dentist will have to dig into your gum and jaw to remove it, but he finally gets it out, with much unnecessary pain.
Sweet relief, but just for a moment.

Here's where we are right now - sweet relief that the appointment is finally over. All of the flashy "painless dentistry" advertisements and other lies are off the shelf for another two or three years. Then the dentist calls you up and tells you that there is some bad news. It seems that though you are free of the bad tooth pain, there is a new problem. While extracting the nuisance of a tooth, the process of removal accidentally allowed a nasty infection into your mouth. You won't feel any pain for a while; in fact you will feel pretty good for a few months, but the good feeling is going to be short lived.

This particular infection has a nasty habit of spreading into every other vital system that sustains the life of your body. Is it a cancer? "Not yet," he says. "But it will be if you don't do something about it. This infection is detrimental to every other vital organ in your body. It will slowly kill you from the inside. It will be totally painless... at first. When it finally starts to consume you, it will hurt everywhere. You will end up a stinking, rotting corpse; just an emaciated, hallow shell of what you once were."

...and your next dentist appointment isn't for another four years.

Thanks guys

Just a couple more hateful posts, and I will be through. But for now, have you seen what Lord Obama is doing to the stock market?

Wall Street Suffers Second Straight Day of Big Losses; Down Down About 500


UPDATE: Just as suddenly as the vile comments came to Mangdiddles, they have left. The stock market is still tanking, and now he has taken a swipe at Nancy Reagan. There is no shame. One day on the job, and he is making apologies to former First Ladies.

I would be willing to bet my sweet pompadour that there will not be many more apologies in the future; he's too big for that.

My Opinion

  1. Any man that would blindly follow unidentified hope, and unspecified change deserves any atrocities that may come his way.
  2. People sheltered by founding principles rooted in Liberty that choose to give those principles away deserve to reap the fruit of life without Liberty.
  3. A land that refuses to learn from, and has the audacity to rewrite history will ultimately be forced to relive it. Unfortunately, those mishaps will be choreographed and exploited by enemies who unlike in the past, possess or are violently seeking to possess nuclear weapons.
  4. Shortsightedness in today's political decisions will ultimately hurt our children more than it hurts us.
  5. When those who have earnestly sought to destroy the foundations of a once-righteous nation gain full power, they will finish the job.
...that is all I have off of the top of my head.

My last reply in the comments on the previous post sum up my reply to being called a 'hater.'

"Speak of hate all you want, but in the end it was Barack, not I who attended Jeremiah Wright's congregation for over 20 years. It was he, not I, who is friends with the self professing anti-Semite, Louis Farrakhan. And lets not forget that it was Obama who said in his memoirs that he meticulously sought out radicals for friends and Marxists for professors.
I don't "rant" out of hatred. I rant because my generation is blindly following an unidentified "change" that in my opinion could ultimately lead to America's downfall, and they have (in mass) put their "hope" in the Marxist ideology of an inexperienced "community organizer" rather than the Constitution of the United States of America.
If you can honestly say that you have read these comments and come out thinking that I am the one spewing hatred - then you, my friend, are one of the blind people that I am referring to.
Your CHANGE and HOPE are here - -now all we have to do is HOPE the our enemies haven't really paid attention to the Left's brilliant ideas on appeasement; and HOPE that he will CHANGE his views on the First and Second Amendments, the splitting of Jerusalem, spreading the wealth, and all of the other Marxist trash he promised while campaigning."

Obama Wants to Split Jerusalem... when he's talking to Abbas, that is.

I figured that since I have the attention of quite a few of Obama's most prominent thinkers, it would be a good time to show a story from Arutz Sheva, Israeli National News where Abbas says that he has never heard such good things from a presidential hopeful. Joy. Obama has lied to Israel, telling them that he endorses the unity of Jerusalem... then promises the terrorists the exact opposite.
A unifier indeed.

From Arutz Sheva:
OBAMA TELLS ABBAS: I SUPPORT DIVIDING JERUSALEM
Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama privately expressed his support for a new Arab state within Israel's current borders, including eastern Jerusalem, during his meeting with Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah this summer.

According to a report published Tuesday in the Lebanese newspaper al-Ahbar, Obama told Abbas that he supports a PA state, and Arab "rights to east Jerusalem" as well. The sources said Abbas and PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad "heard the best things they ever heard from an American president" during the meeting. However, said sources quoted in the report, the candidate asked them to keep his declaration a secret.

PA spokesman Nimar Hamad said he had no comment on the remarks, other than to describe the briefing Abbas and Fayyad had given to the presidential hopeful.

"The Palestinian Authority views the American elections as an internal matter and does not favor one person over another," he said in an official statement. "The PA hopes that the next American president will fulfill his commitment towards the Palestinians and pressure Israel."

CNN still taking jabs, even at the last minute.

CNN is fighting for Obama even now, as we enter the last day if the race. Check out this story on their title page:

Americans are lining up at polling stations today in what already is one of the most historic U.S. elections. Democrat Barack Obama could become the nation's first African-American president. Republican John McCain could become the oldest president elected to a first term. McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, could become the first woman elected vice president. Americans also are expected to vote in record numbers. full story (emphasis mine)

----------------------

By the way - I did not take the picture of Obama with the cigarette in his mouth; I only posted it.
I am a little shocked at the way Obama supporters insist on behaving when they are 'standing up' for their candidate. At what point in the political arena did talking like a thug become the norm?
I have an idea: I think that regardless of which side wins, the US should be split in two with a vertical line going through the center of the country; Conservatives on one side, and Liberals on the other. We have completely different views on how this country should conduct itself, and those views are without doubt irreconcilable.

...of course, if we were to do this, the Left would insist on having open borders,
and insist that we are "occupiers" in their territory.
--------------------------------------

More from CNN, with some comments lacking the "F" word.:
CNN: Obama is "humbled"
Mangdiddles: ...so humbled that he gave Mccain the middle finger.
CNN: final polls shiw 'big gap' for Mccain
Mangdiddles: Their polls are worthless according to their own standards.
CNN: Democrats try to build on 36-seat House majority
Democrats aim for powerful majority in Senate
Mangdiddles: Is there another party here? Every other headline on CNN today is "The Democrats...."

So much for Rated G - Diddles

Anger rampant on the internet? Who would have thought?
Evidently, the Left does not want to engage in rhetoric of any sensible kind these days, and it is taking a toll on my comments section.
I've tried to keep this a G rated site, but the Left just has no patience for rated G.
I will have to have "moderate comments" turned on from here out - in the meantime, if you have a stomach for bad grammar and shotty spelling, laced with a whole bunch of F words, check out the comments after any anti-Obama post. You'll be surprised at what his base really thinks.

Obama is her "Personal Jesus"

If you have just eaten, I apologize in advance - this might make you toss your proverbial cookies.
(From Worldnetdaily.com):

"Obama is my homeboy. And I'm not saying that because he's black – I'm saying that in reference to those Urban Outfitters T-shirts from a couple years ago that said, 'Jesus is my homeboy.' Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus," wrote Maggie Mertens in the Smithsophian's commentary section recently under the headline: "I Will Follow Him: Obama As My Personal Jesus."

"While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, I'm afraid it's true anyway," she wrote.

..."I've officially been saved, and soon, whether they like it or not, the rest of the country will be too. I will follow him, all the way to the White House, and I'll be standing there in our nation's capital in January 2009, when Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. In the name of Obama, Amen."

read it all here; it gets even more disgusting.
__________________________

She says that it was not written as satire. I agree (that it is not satire, that is). I think that the media as a whole have already accepted Obama as their "savior" as well, which serves them well - a communist messiah for a communist people.

I love Rush Limbaugh's comments - if you were wondering whether or not he was a Christian, here's your answer:
"I know Jesus Christ. I pray to Jesus Christ all the time," said Limbaugh." I study what Jesus Christ did and said all the time, and let me tell you something, Barack Obama, you are no Jesus Christ."

Bar-radical Hussein Obama the Marxist Bible Mocker

Here is an add that shows Barach Hussein Obama's true feelings concerning the Word of God.

Ironically, he calls the Sermon on the Mound "so radical that its doubtful that our own Defense Department could survive its application."



So radical... where have I heard the term radical in conjunction with Barack Hussein Obama?
Oh, yes! That's right - it was when his hero, Saul Alinsky dedicated his book, "Rules for Radicals" to the "greatest radical of all... Lucifer."

He has a lot of nerve, this nobody who was groomed by the media and Communists; to come out swinging not only at those of us who adhere to God's Word, but the very Word its self.

Here are the rules laid out in Saul Alinskey's book, Rules for Radicals. Check each one out, and ask yourself does this sound familiar? Then sit back and chew on the fact that Saul was trying to bring about a Marxist revolution.
Yes, a Marxist revolution.

Click here to read it all.
(emphasis mine)

Alinsky provides a collection of rules to guide the process. But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have,
but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.

Rule 2:
Never go outside the experience of your people. (this is why Barack Hussein Obama says so much without ever saying anything at all)
The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.

Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent.
Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat. (keep in mind that Barack Hussein Obama regularly accuses McCain, Bush and Palin of using 'fear tactics.' )

Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules.
“You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.” (enough said)

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”
(Because God knows that Barack Hussein Obama doesn't know what he would do unless it were given to him on his teleprompter)

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


"Follow these important rules, and the Marxist revolution that you long for will be handed to you on a voter-fraud-laden silver plated platter, topped with ambiguous mantras of change and hope, lightly sprinkled with accusations of racism and fear mongering." ~Mang.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media is trying to conger up a smear on Palin for firing
ex-brother-in-law fired from the state police. I want to see them rail on Obama for not firing his pastor, Jeremiah Wright; who obviously wasn't doing a good job of teaching scripture for the 20 years that Barack was a member of his church.

Jaw Dropper From the Lekarev Report

Key Obama Advisor Called for US Military Invasion of Israel

Samantha Power, a key Obama adviser, called in 2002 for billions of dollars in US military aid to Israel to be invested instead in Palestine and in a "mammoth" US-backed military force to impose a solution to the "Palestine-Israeli situation" on the pretext of preventing Rwanda-like genocide.


The Irish-born Power, pegged as a leading candidate for a top foreign policy position in a prospective Obama administration, perhaps NSC Advisor or even Secretary of State, left the Obama campaign after she was quoted as calling Hillary Clinton a "monster."


But that dismissal did not reflect a reduction in her influence on Obama's thinking. And when it comes to the Mideast, her views of Israel and American Jews appear to resemble those of Obama's democratic rival.


A video clip from a 2002 interview reveals Power calling for US moves that "might mean alienating a domestic constituency," she snickered coyly, "of tremendous political and financial import", candidly calling for "sacrificing ... billions of dollars not in servicing the Israeli military but rather investing in the new state of Palestine" and in a "mammoth protection force."

Power suggested that the US would need to send a "meaningful military presence" to go in on a scale greater than any previous force. Though "imposition of a solution on unwilling parties is as a "dreadful, a terrible thing to do, fundamentally undemocratic," she said, it was essential to stop Israeli and Palestinian leaders who seem "politically destined to destroy the lives of their own peoples." She suggested that just as "external intervention" in Rwanda might have prevented genocide, doing the the same in "Palestine-Israeli situation" would likely prove "lesser of evils."

...And More Lies.

This is interesting; 14 lies as told by a McCain blogger at www.johnmccain.com.
I
f I can ever get the time I would like to show the video of each. I can not promise that that will happen though, as I just started to get in control of my stomach problems, and too much footage of liberals spewing lies might just set me belly off.
Yes, it may set me belly off.

In the meantime, here they are: 14 Lies From Biden

1. TAX VOTE: Biden said McCain voted “the exact same way” as Obama to increase taxes on Americans earning just $42,000, but McCain DID NOT VOTE THAT WAY.

2. AHMEDINIJAD MEETING: Joe Biden lied when he said that Barack Obama never said that he would sit down unconditionally with Mahmoud Ahmedinijad of Iran. Barack Obama did say specifically, and Joe Biden attacked him for it.

3. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING: Biden said, “Drill we must.” But Biden has opposed offshore drilling and even compared offshore drilling to “raping” the Outer Continental Shelf.”

4. TROOP FUNDING: Joe Biden lied when he indicated that John McCain and Barack Obama voted the same way against funding the troops in the field. John McCain opposed a bill that included a timeline, that the President of the United States had already said he would veto regardless of it’s passage.

5. OPPOSING CLEAN COAL: Biden says he’s always been for clean coal, but he just told a voter that he is against clean coal and any new coal plants in America and has a record of voting against clean coal and coal in the U.S. Senate.

6. ALERNATIVE ENERGY VOTES: According to FactCheck.org, Biden is exaggerating and overstating John McCain’s record voting for alternative energy when he says he voted against it 23 times.

7. HEALTH INSURANCE: Biden falsely said McCain will raise taxes on people's health insurance coverage -- they get a tax credit to offset any tax hike. Independent fact checkers have confirmed this attack is false

8. OIL TAXES: Biden falsely said Palin supported a windfall profits tax in Alaska -- she reformed the state tax and revenue system, it's not a windfall profits tax.

9. AFGHANISTAN / GEN. MCKIERNAN COMMENTS: Biden said that top military commander in Iraq said the principles of the surge could not be applied to Afghanistan, but the commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force Gen. David D. McKiernan said that there were principles of the surge strategy, including working with tribes, that could be applied in Afghanistan.

10. REGULATION: Biden falsely said McCain weakened regulation -- he actually called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie.

11. IRAQ: When Joe Biden lied when he said that John McCain was “dead wrong on Iraq”, because Joe Biden shared the same vote to authorize the war and differed on the surge strategy where they John McCain has been proven right.

12. TAX INCREASES: Biden said Americans earning less than $250,000 wouldn’t see higher taxes, but the Obama-Biden tax plan would raise taxes on individuals making $200,000 or more.

13. BAILOUT: Biden said the economic rescue legislation matches the four principles that Obama laid out, but in reality it doesn’t meet two of the four principles that Obama outlined on Sept. 19, which were that it include an emergency economic stimulus package, and that it be part of “part of a globally coordinated effort with our partners in the G-20.”

14. REAGAN TAX RATES: Biden is wrong in saying that under Obama, Americans won't pay any more in taxes then they did under Reagan.

Lying Like A Liberal

Here's Biden lying through his teeth - saying that he has "always" supported clean coal... then here he is saying that he does not support clean coal.
Obama must be loosing his omniscience or something - a guy with his god-like appeal should know what his right hand man stands for.

The countdown begins for the Hillary - Biden replacement. Rush gave it till October 15; I think it will be sooner.


Shocker! Bidens's Statements Factually Wrong.



To those of us who are not blinded by Obamassiah's shining brilliance, this is not surprising.
I watched the second half of the debate last night, and not only did Palin make Biden look like an idiot, but the fact that he is a liar was made very clear.
Karl tells us point by point just how wrong Biden was...

Our sound quality has been dramatically improved since last week’s podcast! Please check it out, and let us know what you think…

Stinketh indeed; Lazarus had been dead for four days. For four days he had not had life's blood flowing through his veins. He was put in a tomb, and for four days, his body had been decomposing. His flesh was rotting.
That is until the one who is able to give life came on the scene. Jesus tells His disciples that Lazarus’ death was for the soul purpose of glorifying His Father.
Why did Jesus intentionally wait a couple of extra days? Did Mary and Martha know that He was getting ready to do something remarkable?

In case I don't have time to post again before sundown, have a good shabbat.


After Sabbath, check out Barry Thomas' website (click here or on the picture).
He is the silversmith who made the beautiful Shabbat candle stand shown above.

Obama - Mccain Dabate Blah, Blah Blah... Hope, Change, Blah

Sabbath is finally here and man, I am ready for it.
I have been in the field all week, so I have missed a bunch of news, but I saw on Drudge that the debate is going to happen, so I wanted to tell you how it is going to go before it ever happens.

After the media lavishes praise after praise on Obama in the proceeding days, and McCain get almost no coverage, it will be something like this:

Commentator: Mr. Obama, your majesty... blah blah blah?

Obama: Thank you, blah blah ...um, change blah blah blah ...er, uh... blahblah hope, blah blahblah blah hope, blahblah blah blahblah blah uuuh, hope, change hmmm, uh... blahblah blah blahblah blah duhhh, um-hmmm, change hope, blah change blah blah blahblah hope, blah blahblah blah umm, er, uh... blahblah hope, blah blahblah blah hope, blahblah blah blahblah change blah hope, blahblah ...uhhem, blah change blahblah blah blahblah um, uh, blah hope, blahblah blah blahblah blah change blahblah blah hope, blahblah blah blah.

Commentator: That was absolutely amazing, blah blah blah.

Obama: Um... blah blah ...um, blah hope, blah blah ...er, uh... blahblah hope, blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blahblah blah uuuh, hmmm, uh... blahblah blah hope, blahblah blah hope, duhhh, um-hmmm.

McCain: Can i-
Commentator: You'll have your turn sir. So, Mr. Obama, blah blah blahblah blah blah?

Obama: Um... blah blah ...um, blah hope, blah blah ...er, uh... blahblah change change blah blahblah blah blahblah blah blahblah blah hope, uuuh, hmmm, uh... blahblah hope, blah blahblah blah duhhh, um-hmm er, uh... change blahblah blah hope, blahblah blah blahblah blah blahblah change blah blahblah ...uhhem, blah blahblah blah blahblah um, uh, blah hope, blahblah blah blahblah change blah blahblah hope, change hope, blah blahblah blah blah.
Commentator: That was magnificent! I had a chill down my leg when you said that last part about blah blah change blah. McCain, what do you think about blah balh blah, change blah and hope blah?

McCain: Well, I truly believe that-
Commentator: You are taking too long to answer, McCaine.
McCain: But I blah blah blah.
Commentator: Lord Obama, you are such an experienced leader - what do you think about blah blah blah?


And that is how it will go. They will say absolutely nothing of value, McCain will be ignored, Obama will be slobbered over, and the commentators will embaress themselves by looking like they are all in puppy love with Barack Hussein Obama. What a sham.

Download this episode (43 min)


Yes, not only does Jesus make the claim to be Messiah again (contrary to what His critics say, He claimed to be the Messiah on numerous occasions); but He does it at the Temple during Hanukkah (Chanukkah, Chanuka, Hanukkah, Hannukah, take your pick on spelling!). Most of us have read it before, but didn't realize that the "Feast of Dedication" was in fact Chanukkah! This brings a whole new light to the Festival of Lights, doesn't it?
Being Messiah is not the only claim He makes in this week's reading; He goes even further than that. Jesus boldly claims to give those who follow Him... well, you'll have to download this week's episode of The Word Is Grace to find out, won't you?

Finally, somebody in the media besides Rush Limbaugh and Greg Garrison have noticed that the media is hiding the real Barack Hussein Obama.
In its entirety from Tony Blankley:

BLANKLEY: Media covering for Obama

OP-ED:

The mainstream media have gone over the line and are now straight out propagandists for the Obama campaign. While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08 for the first time, the major media are consciously covering for one candidate for president and consciously knifing the other. This is no longer journalism — it is simply propaganda. (The American left-wing version of the Volkischer Beobachter cannot be far behind.) And as a result, we are less than seven weeks away from possibly electing a president who has not been thoroughly and even half way honestly presented to the country by our watchdogs — the press.

The image of Barack Obama that the press has presented is not a fair approximation of the real man. They have consciously ignored whole years in his life, and showed a lack of curiosity about such gaps that bespeaks a lack of journalistic instinct. Thus, the public image of Mr. Obama is of a "Man who never was." I take that phrase from a 1956 movie about a real life WWII British intelligence operation to trick the Germans into thinking the Allies were going to invade Greece, rather than Italy, in 1943. Operation "Mincemeat" involved the acquisition of a human corpse dressed as a Maj. William Martin, R.M. and put into the sea near Spain. Attached to the corpse was a brief-case containing fake letters suggesting that the Allied attack would be against Sardinia and Greece.

To make the operation credible, British intelligence created a fictional life for the corpse — a letter from a lover, tickets to a London theater, all the details of a life — but not the actual life of the dead young man whose corpse was being used. So, too, the man the media has presented to the nation as Mr. Obama is not the real man.

The mainstream media ruthlessly and endlessly repeats any McCain gaffes, while ignoring Obama gaffes. You have to go to weird little Internet sites to see all the stammering and stuttering that Mr. Obama needs before getting out a sentence fragment or two. But all you see on the networks is an eventual one or two clear sentences from Mr. Obama. Nor do you see Mr. Obama's ludicrous gaffe that Iran is a tiny country and no threat to us. Nor his 57 American states gaffe. Nor his forgetting, if he ever knew, that Russia has a veto in the United Nations. Nor his whining and puerile "come on" when he is being challenged. This is the kind of editing one would expect from Goebbels' disciples, not Cronkite's.

More appalling, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" suggested that Gov. Sarah Palin's husband had sex with his own daughters. That scene was written with the assistance of Al Franken, Democratic Party candidate for Senate in Minnesota. Talk about incest.

But worse than all the unfair and distorted reporting and image projecting, is the shocking gaps in Mr. Obama's life that are not reported at all. The major media simply has not reported on Mr. Obama's two years at Columbia University in New York, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers— after which they both ended up as neighbors and associates in Chicago. Mr. Obama denies more than a passing relationship with Mr. Ayers. Should the media be curious? In only two weeks the media has focused on all the colleges Mrs. Palin has attended, her husband's driving habits 20 years ago and the close criticism of Mrs. Palin's mayoral political opponents. But in two years they haven't bothered to see how close Mr. Obama was with the terrorist Ayers.

Nor have the media paid any serious attention to Mr. Obama's rise in Chicago politics — how did honest Obama rise in the famously sordid Chicago political machine with the full support of Boss Daley? Despite the great — and unflattering details on Mr. Obama's Chicago years presented in David Freddoso's new book, the mainstream media continues to ignore both the facts and the book. It took a British publication, the Economist, to give Mr. Freddoso's book a review with fair comment.

The public image of Mr. Obama as an idealistic, post-race, post-partisan, well-spoken and honest young man with the wisdom and courage befitting a great national leader is a confection spun by a willing conspiracy of Mr. Obama, his publicist David Axelrod and most of the senior editors, producers and reporters of the national media.

Perhaps that is why the National Journal's respected correspondent Stuart Taylor has written that "the media can no longer be trusted to provide accurate and fair campaign reporting and analysis." That conspiracy has not only photo-shopped out all of Mr. Obama's imperfections (and dirtied up his opponent Mr. McCain's image), but it has put most of his questionable history down the memory hole.

The public will be voting based on the idealized image of the man who never was. If he wins, however, we will be governed by the sunken, cynical man Mr. Obama really is. One can only hope that the senior journalists will be judged as harshly for their professional misconduct as Wall Street's leaders currently are for their failings.

"Dedicated to... Lucifer??"

Change = Marxist Revolution
Obama's hero's book dedicated to = Lucifer

Have you ever heard of Saul Alinsky? No? If you have been paying attention to America's Anchorman, Rush Limbaugh, you have heard the name before. Rush seems to be the only guy in the public eye to say it like it is, so thank you Rush.
If you are on the fence about Obama, you should take a look at who this guy is, considering Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton both quoted him at the Democratic National Convention, and Obama got his "change" theme straight from Alinsky's book titled "Rules for Radicals."

In the book's forward, Saul Alinsky dedicates the book to Lucifer.

I can not do this story any more justice then Citizen Wells did, so without further ado, here is what the good citizen had to say. Hold on to your hats, folks, because this is the real deal. Research it.
---------------------------------------

From Citizen Wells:
September 12, 2008

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer

Saul Alinsky dedicates his book, “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer.

“Thirteen years after Alinsky died, some of his former students hired Barack Obama to a $13,000 a year job as a community organizer in South Chicago. In a few years he became very proficient in the Alinsky Method of community organizing and became an instructor and teacher of the Alinsky Method to other community organizers.”

“Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future.”

Read more at Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky

“that in the world of Barack Obama, community organisers are a key strategy in a different game altogether; and the name of that game is revolutionary Marxism.”

”His creed was set out in his book ‘Rules for Radicals’ – a book he dedicated to Lucifer, whom he called the ‘first radical’. It was Alinsky for whom ‘change’ was his mantra. And by ‘change’, he meant a Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental, Machiavellian means which turned society inside out. This had to be done through systematic deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to destroy it. And the way to do this, he said, was through ‘people’s organisations’.”

Is it any wonder that Obama gravitated to a church, TUCC, with the like of Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan, spouting hate and words like “God D@%n America.” Is it any wonder that Obama received instruction in Islam in Indonesia and gravitates to Muslims. Obama provides no evidence of living a Christian life and has surrounded himself with the worst of humanity. Now we know that Obama followed the teachings of Saul Alinsky, a man who dedicated a book to Lucifer, a fellow radical.

Systematic deception….Lucifer

I would like to thank Rush Limbaugh for bringing this to my attention.

One of America's Watchmen: Tom Tancredo

From WorldNetDaily.com, in its entirity:

Brand new push in Congress to prevent Shariah invasion
Bill intended to assure citizens they won't be governed by Islam

Posted: September 23, 2008

Rep. Tom Tancredo

Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., introduced a bill to the House of Representatives that seeks to prevent Islamic law from gaining a foothold in the U.S. legal system, as it has in other countries.

Tancredo introduced HR 6975, the Jihad Prevention Act, last week. If made into law, the bill would allow American authorities to prevent advocates of Islamic law, or Shariah, from entering the country, revoke the visa of any foreigners that champion it and revoke naturalization for citizens that seek to implement it in the U.S.

The radical form of Shariah includes several statutes objectionable to Western minds, including stoning for adulterous women, amputation for thieves and the death sentence for converting from Islam.

"When you have an immigration policy that allows for the importation of millions of radical Muslims," Tancredo said in a statement, "you are also importing their radical ideology – an ideology that is fundamentally hostile to the foundations of Western democracy – such as gender equality, pluralism and individual liberty.

"The best way to safeguard America against the importation of the destructive effects of this poisonous ideology is to prevent its purveyors from coming here in the first place," Tancredo said.


As WND reported, large Muslim populations in Canada seeking to live out their faith have convinced the Canadian government to permit the enforcement of Shariah.

The journal of the American Bar Association reported last week that Islamic court rulings are now enforceable in the United Kingdom as well.

Tancredo said he "moved quickly" to prevent similar legal entanglements in the U.S.

"We need to send a clear message that the only law we recognize here in America is the U.S. Constitution and the laws passed by our democratically elected representatives," he concluded. "If you aren't comfortable with that concept, you aren't welcome in the United States."

WND contacted the Council on American-Islamic Relations for comment on the bill but received none.

HR 6975 has been referred to the House Committee on Judiciary for review.

Yesterday, Islamic Terrorism Seemed So Far Away


Even a Beatle isn't safe from the long terrorist arm of the Jihadist.
Kudos, Paul - I don't care if you did die in the 60's, and you are really an exact replica of yourself named Raymond Flanders who used to work at a water treatment plant in Tucson - don't let them intimidate you.

Please notice the new term, sacrifice operatives. That is what they are calling homicide bombers now; sacrifice operatives. What ever happened to leading by example?

[This is from the Jerusalem Post (Jpost.com)]
-----------------------------------------
Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney's decision to perform in Tel Aviv has made him
the target of a terror attack following a threat made against the singer by extremist Islamic leader Omar Bakri.

His planned participation in a concert celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary has made him the enemy of all Muslims, British tabloid Sunday Express quoted Bakri as saying.

Bakri's threat was made in a weekly Internet broadcast from Lebanon, where he has lived in exile since being banned from returning to Britain. The 48-year-old Syrian national questioned the Holocaust's authenticity, and asked how McCartney could participate in the celebration of the independence of the Jewish state.

"Instead of supporting the people of Palestine in their suffering, McCartney is celebrating the atrocities of the occupiers. The one who is under occupation is supposed to be getting the help," Bakri said. "Our enemy's friend is our enemy," the Muslim leader told the Sunday Express.

"Thus Paul McCartney is the enemy of every Muslim. We have what we call 'sacrifice' operatives who will not stand by while he joins in a celebration of their oppression. If he values his life Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel. He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him."

McCartney, who was apparently shocked by the threat, was determined to perform in Israel and refused to cancel his show. His spokesman responded by saying that McCartney intended to come with a "message of peace". On Saturday, McCartney said he was approached by several political groups who asked him to cancel the trip, but he declined.

Sometimes Silence Says A Lot

In this one, they are bashing Palin for never going into Iraq proper to visit the troops from Alaska...

"(CNN) – Sarah Palin did not visit troops in Iraq, a spokesperson for the Republican VP nominee confirmed Saturday, as new details emerged about the extent of the Alaska governor’s foreign travel..."

"...The Boston Globe reported Saturday that Palin visited the Iraqi side of a border crossing — but never journeyed past the checkpoint."
--------------------------------

The fact that we didn't see any of this in the news at the time speaks volumes about Sarah Palin.
She went over there without a camera crew, without a news anchor, without an entourage, and obviously without any intentions motivated by fanfare.

Unlike Barack Obama.
Barack Hussein Obama did go over there... but refused to visit the wounded troops upon finding out that his camera crew would not be allowed in.
Barack Hussein Obama also made it a point to let those same troops know that he was violently against America's drive for victory in the war.
Then, Barack Hussein Obama traveled the globe on his "rock tour" with a team of panting media giants, hell-bent on covering his stupid remarks, and defending him, in spite of who he is.

I had an interesting tip from a friend today - check out Obama's voting record here, if you have the stomach for it. It is very interesting to see just exactly what he has voted for and against.
I don't see how any thinking person could ever support such an empty suit as this guy.

IKE, The Media, and Other Disasters...

The people of Texas are in our prayers. I will take tornados any day over the sort of devistation they are experiencing down there.

Having said that, have you been to WorldNetDaily.com lately? Check out some of these headlines. Each one has a link to the story it goes to, and yes, each one is as messed up as it sounds.

1. Ex-Air America host: Palin can't be trusted with teen boys
Randi Rhodes follows up claim McCain was treated well by Vietnamese captors



2. Alba's seduce-the-vote campaign
Actress makes raunchy, topless, bondage ad to get young people to polls

"Sexy actress Jessica Alba stars in a raunchy, topless, bondage ad campaign designed to get young people to vote Nov. 4."
(Mangdiddles is a rated-G website, so I won't put the advertisement photo on here. If you are so inclined to see it, click on the headline above... it is pretty raunchy for a presidential vote)

3. L.A. Times rebukes ABC for distorting Palin remarks
Charlie Gibson misquotes governor, assuming she saw U.S. in 'holy war'

"The Times said Gibson "went on to take a second part of her comments out of context. Palin had asked the group to pray 'that there is a plan, and that plan is God's plan.'"But Gibson dropped her reference to praying, the Times said, and instead quoted Palin as saying the war was God's plan."

This is a nasty race.

You Can Wrap Obama In A Fish Suit, And He Will Still Smell Like A Pig

Wow - just when you think it is safe for a woman to get into politics...

Here's the report in its entirety from Ben Smith’s Blog:

Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:
Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra."You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig.""You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink.""We've had enough of the same old thing."
The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."

-----------------------------------------

I would like to think that he wasn’t referring to Sarah Palin, well, because that would not be the “change we need” now would it?

For the record, you can wrap a politician preaching “change” in a nice suit, and even with a flag pin, it doesn’t make him a patriot.
A true patriot makes decisions that sometimes go against the majority, simply because it is the right thing to do.
A true patriot visits wounded troops – even when the cameras aren’t allowed in.
A true patriot knows that sometimes going to war is the right thing to do – not to take lives, though it is an unfortunate byproduct, but to end regimes that are bent on taking the lives of innocent people.
A true patriot would never call himself a citizen of the world while giving a speech in a foreign land – especially one that killed 6.5 million Jews – he would call himself an American first... and he would police his official website's blog entries that call for putting the Jews back in the oven.

Like I said, you can wrap Obama in a fish suit, and he will still smell like a pig… or you can wrap a communist up in a suit with a flag pin on it, and he’s still a Communist… or you can wrap a communist up in a donkey suit, and you will have today’s liberal… or something like that.
Biden is coming out of his politically correct closet too, but I gotta go for now...


UPDATE: I guess my comments touched a couple of liberal's nerves. Allow me to address each point, however silly it may be.

1. Anonymous said...

Well speaking of pig... I am wondering if you are not on the extreme right side here...

My Reply: Yes, I am on the "extreme right." I am not ashamed to be on the extreme right either. That is why I write about the stupidity and moral deficiency of the extreme left.

2. Anonymous said...

Wow! What excellent journalism you conduct. You're quoting a blog that quotes a blog that quotes a blog. Why anyone would take you seriously is beyond me.
Stick to the God business. Leave the politics to the experts.

My Reply: I conduct no journalism here, nor do I claim to. I was quoting a blog from Ben Smith from the Politico, that was a direct transcript of what Obama said. I saw it on the Drudge Report, and the whole story is here, on the Wall Street Journal. By the looks of it, I have already done more research than Katie Couric has done in 15 years, and she gets paid to spew her opinion.By the main stream media's standards, I could be a professional.

Coincidentally, your final statement identifies the problem with liberals in America; "leaving it to the experts" is not only a recipe for elitism run amuck, it is nowhere to be found in our constitution. As elected officials, they are my employees as well as yours - lets treat them as such.

3. Anonymous said...

McCain is misguided and Palin hates America. Just ask her 'pastor,' who hates it too.

My Reply: ...huh? Are you watching the same race? I think you have the Irreverant Jeremiah Wright (AKA: AmeriKKKa) mixed up with Palin's pastor; who by the way is a respectable man who loves Jesus and our country. I have met his family, and can say this with no regrets.

4. Progressively against the current said...

Wow, I never knew JFK, FDR, Carter, or Clinton, "Free trade maniac creating NAFTA and selling globalization" were commies. You can wrap a blogger preaching about how he came back from the brink and wrap it in religion yet still find nothing but stupid stereotypes.

My Reply: What in the name of intelligent argument are you talking about? The first sentence of your comment makes no sense to me at all. All I can make out of it is that you rightly recognize Carter and Clinton as Commies. As for FDR and JFK, I don't think either one of them was a Commie... and I don't think they have anything to do with my original post. Nor does NAFTA. I am glad that you took the time to read a lilttle bit of my testimony though, and had the courage to put your name on your comment.

In summary, I would like to go over a couple of things that we have learned by this exchange.

1. When the truth is presented, and it makes the opposition look like fools, the opposition lash out at your integrity, your character, your pastor if you have one.

2. When said opposition gets too angry to type, they shouldn’t. Their ability to argue a point with logical rhetoric disappears as soon as the finger hits the key.

3. Three out of four liberals would rather comment under the name “Anonymous” then to risk hearing back from the person they just confronted. This, in my opinion, means that they are not only lacking a real argument, but they are weenies.

Either Way...



This is a song I wrote when I first got saved.

Here it is on Godtube.
Here's the lyrics:

I know You're with me
You're Spirit breathes in me
even when I don't feel you there
I know you love me
But sometimes its hard to see
after all, I'm only a man

Open my eyes, its hard to see
am I even close to where i should be
should I run or should i stand?
either way, just hold my hand

You alone are worthy
and I give all my praise to thee
You are the Rock on which i stand
i know you love me
and sometimes its all that i can see
after all I'm only a man

You're on my mind constantly
You alone have set me free
in ways that I don't understand
You lead me by the hand
You lead me by the hand

Palin, The Daughter Of One Man And One Woman

(photo from CNN.com)
Yes, I've seen her, and yes... she rocks.
If Chuck Norris was a lady, Sarah Palin would kick her butt.

She is not only a spectacular politician, but she is a Christian, she's pro life, a mother of five, a hunter (who knows how to field dress her own kills), she's attractive, and she will be a bright spot in history books for years to come.

...unlike Barack Obama, who according to this guy is more than just a piece of history,
he is a miracle.

Blowing the Whistle on VICTORY

Finally, somebody is saying it in public - we won the war in Iraq.

Here's the story about the story as told by WorldNetDaily

------------------------
VICTORY IN IRAQ!
Why the establishment press is burying the story of the year

Posted: September 03, 2008
1:00 am Eastern

© 2008 WorldNetDaily

What kind of headline would you expect newspapers nationwide to trumpet if America won the war in Iraq and destroyed al-Qaida there?

Maybe something like this? "VICTORY IN IRAQ! AL-QAIDA SMASHED!" Perhaps even old-fashioned newsboys on the street corners, yelling "Extra, extra! Vic'try in Iraq! Read all about it!"

Don't hold your breath. You won't see such headlines in American newspapers or leading network news broadcasts – even though, believe it or not, by all credible accounts America has indeed won the war in Iraq!

You see, the "mainstream press" isn't really too excited about America winning the war right now. Why? It's just bad timing: Success in Iraq doesn't fit the media's overriding agenda for the next couple months, which is to further discredit George W. Bush and Republicans, and to assure that Barack ("We must end this failed war") Obama is elected president and as many Democrats as possible are installed in Congress, legislatures and statehouses nationwide.

There is, however, at least one media entity that is telling the whole story of America's stunning success in Iraq, and that is WND's elite monthly Whistleblower magazine, in the inspiring September edition, "VICTORY IN IRAQ!"


Ironically, 2008 is already becoming known as "the year the media died," because of its astonishingly biased treatment of the two major presidential candidates – network anchor groupies tagging along with Obama on his European campaign trip while all but ignoring McCain; the New York Times running Obama's op-ed on Iraq, but refusing to run McCain's response the following week, and so on.

But there's another area in which the media died this year – namely, coverage of the Iraq war.

Sure, while things were going terribly and it looked like America was losing, news coverage was constant – and unrelentingly negative. Bad news – IED attacks, political setbacks, accusations of atrocities on the part of U.S. soldiers, statements by Democrat leaders condemning the "failed" Iraq war – led the evening news night after night.

But recently, Americans haven't heard very much about Iraq. Reason: The news is good. In fact, as "VICTORY IN IRAQ!" dramatically documents, the U.S. is winning – big-time.

When you read "VICTORY IN IRAQ!," you'll find out why:

  • Ryan Crocker, U.S. ambassador to Iraq, says, "Very clearly, the insurgency is in no position to overthrow the government or, really, even to challenge it.

  • A rare Associated Press story on America's success in Iraq reveals: "In Baghdad, parks are filled every weekend with families playing and picnicking with their children. That was unthinkable only a year ago, when the first, barely visible signs of a turnaround emerged.

  • Army Col. Tom James, a brigade commander on his third combat tour in Iraq, says: "We've put out the forest fire. Now we're dealing with pop-up fires.

  • Gen. David Petraeus' says, "Attacks in Iraq hit a four-year low in mid-May and … Iraqi forces were finally taking the lead in combat and on multiple fronts at once – something that was inconceivable a year ago.

  • Independent embedded journalist and former Green Beret Michael Yon, reporting from the front lines, says, "By my estimation, the Iraq War is over. We won. Which means the Iraqi people won."

  • Iraqi citizens who formerly were intimidated by al-Qaida atrocities into joining and protecting the terror group now take up arms and shoot al-Qaida terrorists in their midst, saying they're sick and tired of the terror and are not going to take it anymore.




  • Following are just a few highlights of the many articles – accompanied by amazing photos – in "VICTORY IN IRAQ!":

    • "How the media bury victory" by David Kupelian, exposing how the "mainstream press" has managed to disguise the story of the year

    • "McCain's rejected op-ed": Now you can read Sen. John McCain's gutsy editorial on Iraq policy which the New York Times refused to publish

    • "The surge in Iraq: 1 year later" by Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, in which America's next senior commander in Iraq reveals how the tides of war turned

    • "U.S. soldiers befriend Iraqi children" by Matt Sanchez, describing from the front lines how Iraqi kids are unafraid of the "gentle giants" in their midst with body armor, dark glasses and weaponry

    • "Saddam's forces boasted of moving WMD to Syria before war" by Ryan Mauro, whose interview with the former U.S. overseer of Iraqi prisons reveals that 40 incarcerated ex-military Iraqis confirm transport of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction prior to invasion

    • "Don't let the Democrats disenfranchise our troops" by Melanie Morgan. Believe it or not, once again America's servicemen and women are in danger of having their votes not count this November. As one Marine official put it: "Thousands of service members who try to vote will do so in vain"

    • and much more

    "I think you will find this issue of Whistleblower enlightening and uplifting," says WND founder and Editor Joseph Farah. "Sometimes it seems the news doesn't give us much to smile about. The turnabout in Iraq should provide every American and every freedom-loving, peace-loving person in the world reason to cheer."
