By proving contraries, truth is made manifest.

What did Barack Obama accomplish as a “community organizer” and Illinois State Senator representing his district in Chicago?  Whatever it was — something to do with $$$ millions stolen by convicted felon, slumlord and Obama fundraiser Tony Rezko — he hasn’t been willing to talk about it, according to this archived NBC 5 News report:

That the Palin’s income tax returns contain significant errors should be no surprise to anyone involved professionally with the U.S. income tax system. When taxpayers like the Palins have a firm like H&R Block prepare their returns and still end up with a tax mess like this, it’s time to reform the system.

No sane human being should be expected to know how it all works. I’ve been practicing and teaching income taxes for over twenty years and I don’t. Little wonder that hockey moms and fishermen get confused. Maybe, just maybe, by putting such ordinary Americans in the White House — some who’ve been burned by the system themselves — we’ll get some meaningful tax reform. [Read more →]

This video speaks to key issues presented in stark contrast to America’s voters in the November 2008 elections.

“Alpha. Omega. Alpha. Omega.” So begins the teen chant in praise of Barack Obama at a Kansas City middle school:

The students enter the room chanting “Alpha. Omega. Alpha. Omega.” Then, one at a time, they state things they were “inspired” to do by Barack Obama, including becoming an architect and a sheriff. At the end of the video, the students make statements about Obama’s healthcare plan. “Obama’s healthcare plan will be able to provide participants the ability to move from job to job without taking their healthcare coverage,” one says.

This video — apparently filmed in March 2008 — creeps me out. Imagine how Texas CPS would respond to a video showing a line of FLDS young men, dressed in military fatigues, chanting Warren Jeffs’ name. The press would be ravenous with comparisons to the Hitlerjugend. But when Obama is the “maximum leader” and object of worship, everyone sleeps. [UPDATE: Since this entry was posted earlier this afternoon, the video was yanked from YouTube and then replaced. Any guesses as to how many anti-McCain videos have been yanked from YouTube? See Foxnews and this post for more information.]

I can already hear Obama apologists crying, “But Obama didn’t approve of this video.” Nonsense. Hitler didn’t “approve” of thousands of misdeeds by his followers, either. But those followers helped make Hitler into the monster that he became. What has scared me about Obama from the beginning is the kind of people he runs with and those who run with him. [Read more →]

“Butt out of our lives and take care of your own . . . It’s none of your business how we decide to live together, support each other, and worship our God. . . . What you’re doing is presenting a bunch of what-if scenarios . . . based only on your misconceptions of our culture.  Who are YOU to say that the way we live gives too much discretion to our leaders?”

So wrote one commenter on this blog responding to another with a penchant for posing hypotheticals about the FLDS case.  I understand the reaction, but is it really “none of our business”?  [Read more →]

Texas CPS is not an isolated cancer on the American body politic. Rather, it is one virulent tentacle of a rapidly growing nationwide tumor proving fatal to a growing number of families and individuals across the country. In some ways, it makes the banking crisis look like trivial pursuit.

In this two-part video interview, Dr. Stephen Baskerville discusses how the United States has created a bureaucracy composed of “huge numbers of people who have a vested interest in taking children away from their parents.” The video looks cheesey on the front end, but Baskerville is a very bright guy and makes a persuasive case. For readers wondering how to tackle the CPS beast — whether in Texas, California, Georgia, New Jersey or Oregon — this interview provides valuable background.

This video gives an indication of the kind of pressure brought to bear on House members yesterday and today to vote in favor of the Paulson bank sellout plan:

Do I believe the story?  Yes.  Do I believe that the President might invoke martial law in response to a widespread banking crisis?  Yes.  Do I trust websites like Inforwars. com to get it right?  No.  What I see at Inforwars is mostly a load of hyperbolic, inflammatory nonsense.  But this video is what it is.  And that’s where it was found by one of our commenters.

Sarah Palin scored big points tonight winning what some were billing as the Palin vs. Palin debate but hitting Barack Obama hard in the process. Joe Biden hid hard on some issues but couldn’t shake the slick, Washington insider persona.

Gwen Ifill, by the way, was an atrocious “moderator”. You’d think she’d have the intelligence or grace to make some effort at disguising her bias, but she just couldn’t help herself. At the tail end, while still on camera, she gushed to Biden, “You did great!”

My personal political sensibilities continue to recoil at Palin’s calls for new, copious doses of “regulation” as the solution to the banking crisis.

Good write up by Hugh Hewitt who rated “Sarah 2.0″ as “wonderful.” [Read more →]

Harry Reid did his darnedest to seal an American defeat in Iraq, loudly proclaiming “this war is lost.”  Now he’s doing the same for the U.S. economy.  Seems he just can’t find the off switch for his mouth: [Read more →]
