–>Once you get past the soaring oratory, to experience a speech by Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is to be hit with an astoundingly lengthy list of promises.

“I don’t know how any reasonable person” could think he’d really be able to accomplish everything he’s pledging to do, said the mother-in-law of a colleague, a Missouri woman who intends to vote for Obama.

Just today in Sarasota, Fla., the Democratic presidential nominee said that he’d:

• “give a tax break to 95 percent of Americans who work every day and get taxes taken out of their paycheck every week”;
• “eliminate income taxes on Social Security for seniors making under $50,000″;
• “give homeowners and working parents additional tax breaks”;
• not increase taxes on anyone if they “make under $250,000; you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime –- not your income taxes, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax”;
• “end those breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas”;
• “give tax breaks to companies that invest right here in the United States”;
• “eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-up companies that are the engine of job creation in this country”;
• “create two million new jobs by rebuilding our crumbling roads, and bridges, and schools — by laying broadband lines to reach every corner of the country”;
• “invest $15 billion a year in renewable sources of energy to create five million new energy jobs over the next decade”;
• “reopen old factories, old plants, to build solar panels, and wind turbines”;
• build “a new electricity grid”;

You may recall Obama’s pastor reverend Wright saying “God DAMN America”. Well Obama was singing a different tune a few years ago when asked about him.

Excerpts from the video:

“Wright, who is my pastor, and he is a wonderful man… He’s a pastor of a large congregation in Chicago, and one of the interesting things that I discover in my journey to discover what my identity is and who my father is, is also discovering my own faith, which is not necessarily a traditional faith.

I don’t come out of an institutionalized religious setting. But what becomes important to me as I work with churches in the South Side of Chicago and low income neighborhoods is to realize that all of the stories and songs of the Church, the hope that is embodied in the Church, the sense of liberation that is embodied in the historically African American Church, is really something that moves me deeply.

And I think is probably the main pillar around which a lot of inner city communities are going to be built, and Reverend Wright, my pastor who I speak about in the chapter in the book, I think represents the best of what the black Church has to offer.”

As to Obama’s recent claims, distancing himself from the Reverend Wright, all one could surmise that Obama’s claim is an absolute load of codswallop.

After Joe Wurzelbacher of Ohio gained fame as “Joe the Plumber” in the course of the current presidential campaign, it seems that he’s drawn more than idle curiosity from people with access to what should probably be confidential information.

There’s a story from The Columbus Dispatch that “government insiders accessed Joe the Plumber’s records soon after the McCain-Obama debate. ‘Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher’s driver’s license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.’

Welcome to 1984.

A Constitutional Minefield

By Judah Benjamin, Guest Author

Ladies and gentlemen, I keep telling you I’m not a Lawyer but that I have studied Law. Now one of the reasons I’m not a Lawyer is that I have neither read nor studied The Federal Code of Civil Procedure, I could never be bothered and never needed to because Law concerns me as it impacts certain Historical events or actions. Philip J Berg, Esq, on the other hand is a Lawyer and has read it. I direct you to:

http://www.americasright.com/

…where Jeff Schreiber has devoted all of his spare time to looking at the case. (Thank you beyond measure, Jeff, I don’t know where you get the time and energy. You are a hero, and Republican, or not, I hope you end up as Chief Justice.) Go to Jeff’s site, I don’t care if he’s a Republican, he’s the man who is in contact with the Court and with Berg and who breaks the news the minute it comes out.

Berg has struck back with a Procedural bombshell!

A motion requesting an immediate order deeming his request for admissions served upon Barack Obama and the DNC on September 15 admitted by default, and

B) A motion requesting an expedited ruling and/or hearing on Berg’s motion deeming the request for admissions served upon Obama and the DNC admitted.

These motions are based on Rule 36 of The Federal Code of Civil Procedure. This Rule, it seems, states that “a party upon whom requests for admissions have been served must respond, within 30 days, or else the matters in the requests will be automatically deemed conclusively admitted for purposes of the pending action.”

Needless to say, Obama and the DNC have NOT made any Legal admissions, or answers to the allegations, at all since September 15th, at least none of which Berg is aware and he should be if they have.

If Judge Surrick grants these motions, Barack Hussein Obama II is, at least temporarily, neither eligible for the Office of POTUS nor a Citizen of the United States, in Law. Read the rest of this entry »

WSJ story: A Liberal Supermajority

Get ready for ‘change’ we haven’t seen since 1965, or 1933.

If the current polls hold, Barack Obama will win the White House on November 4 and Democrats will consolidate their Congressional majorities, probably with a filibuster-proof Senate or very close to it. Without the ability to filibuster, the Senate would become like the House, able to pass whatever the majority wants.

AP

Though we doubt most Americans realize it, this would be one of the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history. Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven’t since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on.

Merely tearing down or scrawling obscenities all over McCain yard signs apparently isn’t enough for Obama supporters in Virginia anymore.

Now they’ve escalated to setting them on fire. Here’s what’s left of one that was displayed in someone’s front yard in Virginia, this picture below courtesy of the blog of Cassy Fiano:

In Oregon, Obamunists have been using molotov cocktails (see story from TV station KATU here ) to unite America by making sure only Obama yard signs can be seen. Welcome to the country we’ll have to live in after The One brings Change.

In other news:

ACORN has registered Mickey Mouse to vote – in Orlando, of course. Here’s the registration application:

As reported by the St. Petersburg Times, it is “stamped with the logo of the nonprofit group ACORN.”

What a coincidence: the Obama campaign furtively paid this same group $800,000 to get out the vote.

There are lots of unanswered questions surrounding Barack Obama, not the least of which is his associations with people that have done things and/or said things detrimental to the United States.

Here are a few video links for consideration, as well as an embedded video.
