At the Official Obama Site: Crazy on Toast

Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 2:39:10 pm PDT

Some quick hits from the official Barack Obama community web site, fascinating examples of the thought processes of the Democratic candidate’s base of supporters. Because we care.

Here’s Obama fan Mutee Ameen (who belongs to 9 groups, including American Muslims for Obama and Marxists/Socialists/Communists for Obama), with a slice of crazy ranting about Blackwater and Zionists: Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Mutee Ameen’s Blog: Blackwater USA.

Blackwater USA
By Mutee08 - Oct 18th, 2007 at 7:55 pm EDT
Also listed in: 9 groups

It’s a great sign that the Iraqi people want Blackwater USA out of Iraq. For those of you who don’t know what Blackwater USA is I’ll gladly explain. Blackwater USA is an organization made up of Christian wingnuts, who believe that killing innocent Iraqi women and children will bring about the final battle in Jerusalem between the muslims, christians, and jews. Now, currently in our military there is also this problem as some commanders and generals believe this bull$hit too. I believe that Eirk Prince and Al Clark the persons in charge of Blackwater USA are also good buddies of the current President, and Eirk Prince contributed quite a bit of money to Bush’s presidential campaigns as well. Each Blackwater guard, if you can call them that, are earning $445,000 per year. In my mind this is a front organization for the protection of the far-right in Isreal, in other words a bunch of Zionist sympathizers. Now that you know what this so call private military company, or as I call it mercenary organization, is doing, you won’t be fooled by right-wing nuts or Zionist sympathizers.

P.S. Don’t drink the kool-aid

Next out of the toaster, Franky Lamouche with some advice to Obama on how to handle “uneducated whites and Zionists:” Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | Franky Lamouche’s Blog: Obama Corp: Danger Zones.

Obama Corp: Danger Zones
By Franky Lamouche - May 28th, 2008 at 2:25 am EDT

Tags: Jews, Lamouche
Obama Corp: Danger Zones

Two danger zones come to mind: uneducated whites and Zionists. The former of the Ohio valley, the latter of Florida.

Brigades of local volunteers—preferably blood relatives of these natives—need to be deployed to enlighten the uneducated and reason with the Jews. Otherwise GI Joe McCain will be our next President.

For example: the uneducated say Barack is a Muslim and the Jews say he supports Hamas. Neither group will, therefore, vote for him. The simple rebuttal is Barack is not a Muslim and he does not support Hamas.

The truth, however, is that the presidency is a secular office and religious beliefs are not relevant; this debate should have been settled with the election of JFK. As for Hamas, they represent the poor and displaced and, for the historically minded, there is little difference between them and the Irgun.

The uneducated need to understand that they cannot sacrifice their country because of ignorance. The Jews need to understand that they cannot sacrifice their country (USA) because of allegiance to Israel, no matter what deal they believe God may have made with Abraham millennia ago.

Wasn’t that tasty?

Here’s a singed-around-the-edges moonbat who was previously banned, but is now back with a head full of rage and a caps lock key set on STUN: Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | kris williams’s Blog.

Finally, another previously banned poster returns (the one highlighted in this LGF post), with an ominous warning for the “Nazi Neo Con Republicans:” Barack Obama : : Change We Can Believe In | The Spook who sat by the door. (Former CIA Agent): A STORM IS COMING!!!

This movement of young and old; Black; White; Hispanic; Asian; and Native Americans; Democrats; Republicans; Independence; Libertarians have created “A Storm” that is coming to America. The wealthy ones’, (Nazi Neo Con Republicans) time have come to an end. “Remember ... A Storm is coming.” Your domination over this country and time for honoring yourself will soon be at an end.

Obama Needs to Explain How He Helped Wounded Troops

In Sen. Barack Obama’s latest tv ad (running in Wisconsin), “Country I Love,” he touts his record (albeit limited) on taxes, welfare reform, and most interestingly, helping wounded troops.

...In the ad he says, “That’s why I...extended health care for wounded troops who had been neglected.” To back that up Public Law 110-181 is cited. With a little research at Thomas.gov you find P.L. 110-181 is the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act. Obama wasn’t present for that vote. Getting a bill through the Senate is a tedious process with many different votes, but Obama has to offer some evidence he actually did something to do what he takes credit for doing. His campaign forgot many eyes are watching and digging.

Taking a different angle, James Joyner has a minor problem with Obama playing the poverty card.

Here is what I see as the future should Obama win - my taxes go up exponentially, they come after my guns and try to control how warm/cold my house is and how much I drive. They will also take away my perfectly good employer paid health insurance and force me onto some crappy government program. They will gut the military and intelligence services and shove multi-culti bull crap down our throats. The fairness doctrine will pass and we will lose our only voices - talk radio and the Internet.

The future should Mr. McCain win - all the libs heads explode, they melt down, riot and are put in mental hospitals/prison where they belong. The rest of us will just get on with life.

re: #86 alegrias

Scott McClellan blamed "neocons" for making President Bush do stuff on Tuesday night, June 17 on the PBS Tavis Smiley talk show.

McClellan bragged he was bi-partisan, child of democrats, now practically a moonbat now that he's plugging his book explaining how he was a talking parrot instead of a thinking White House spokesman.

All kinds of crazy conspiracies in Scott McClellan's pandering to the crazed.

Poor Scottie.

Either they can keep on making a half assed attempt to properly moderate their site- which to date is a testimony and monument to incompetence and mediocrity- or Obama comes out and definitively excoriates the whack jobs and makes clear his disdain for the rhetoric that is anti American, antisemitic or just plain vicious.

It is not a matter of free speech- these nut jobs are free to say and believe whatever they wish. When it is all said and done and done however, it is the candidates 'house'- and he has every right to demand civilized behavior in his 'house.'

If he doesn't, HE will become the issue.

My experience - and I live in what would amount to the Leftist Vatican, if they believed in such a thing - is that leftists are a bunch of JO artists. Their calls to action don't translate into action. On my local scale, they whine while it's up to folks like me to actually keep the trains running on time. And should BO win in November - Heaven forbid - it will still be up to folks like us to keep things from falling apart. Good, hard work can be slowed down. But it will not be stopped. The left lacks the stomach for work.

Fair enough. But then how would you explain their ability to actually get a crazy leftist like Obam'uh into the position and the other ways that the Left has been able to affect society?

in my experience, having dated (what seems like) every crazy leftist of the right sex in CA and NY, the Left eats, sleeps, breathes, and dreams politics. To them EVERYTHING is politics. They push it at meals, they push it at stores, they push it on vacation, etc etc etc.

Maybe its a function of the differences of opinion (ie: they believe Gov/Politics should control every aspect of ones life and Conservatives think less Gov the better), but I'd like to think that more Conservative values could be seen in society.

Boys marry Boys these days you know, and G-d is considered a myth.

I just found the most precious quote from David Boren, newly placed on the Obama team. He explains why Obama isn't a liberal.

“I think that is largely a myth,” he said, picking apart the liberal ranking. “He has been in the Senate too short a time to take any particular votes as indicative of his ideology.”

I see, it’s not that he’s a liberal it’s that Obama doesn’t have any experience. Got it!

Their voting for Obam'uh is not much more than an overstearing against Bush policies; or in otherwords, a vote against Bush.

This is probably why Obam'uh's most repeated argument for his election is that McCain is just Bush's Thrid Term.

Blackwater is a Protective Service.

They do not conduct offensive military operations, and they never have.

Blackwater is hired by the US State Department, foreign governments, NGO's, and Mainstream Media outlets to provide protective (bodyguard) details for diplomats, food convoys, and journalists in dangerous environments, such as Iraq.

===

Lefty doesn't like Blackwater because Blackwater is very good at what they do. Which is preventing Lefty's terrorist hero's from killing more innocent people.

Lefty is a lying POS. Lefty is also a chickenhawk for not joining his terrorist comrades.

Sorry to go off topic, but I have to confess something, publicly, to Charles. On Tuesday, in this thread on Discarded Lies, I wrote:

it is my carefully considered opinion that in this current controversy, Charles Johnson is overall on more solid intellectual and moral ground than Evariste and most of the other people on DL, as much as it kills me to say it.

Which is not to deny that Charles has been a buffoon in the past week. Mainly I just want to get Charles and Ev in a steel cage and kick the shit out of both of them for being such complete swaggering bully-boy prats over this. (Though again, mind you, I am slightly more sympathetic to Charles, simply because he's not the one who's been bamboozled by a chucklehead cumface like Auster.)

Later in the thread I wrote:

...because Auster pre-screens every comment that appears on his site, in a way he is very much analogous to a totalitarian censor. Charles might be acting like a corrupt and bullying cop, but people who have registered on LGF can post anything they want without having to run it by him first. Thus, compared to Auster, Charles is relatively non-totalitarian.

And a little further down:

I would even concede that [Charles is being] a massive fucking hypocrite for indulging in the same sort of behavior that he has frequently attacked other blogs for. Yet despite being a massive fucking hypocrite, Charles runs a site that is relatively anarcho-libertarian in its approach to moderation of reader comments, when compared with the NYT or Auster's blog. And despite being a massive fucking hypocrite on one or two issues, he is nonetheless a smarter and more decent man than Auster will ever be.

Which is why it troubles me to see some of my friends on DL defending and even praising Auster, while heaping verbal abuse on Charles.

I'm not posting this here not to stir up shit, but to give Evariste and Zorkmidden some assurance that I'm not applying a double standard -- since, elsewhere on that same thread, I had publicly criticized them for saying rude stuff about you on DL, which I considered to be essentially "behind your back." Therefore, I thought the only recourse was to show them that I'm prepared to publicly criticize you "in front of your back." Please understand that I sincerely believe I'm acting in the spirit of "tough love," though. (And also, admittedly, because I relish the chance of eviscerating Lawrence Auster.)

I won't hold it against you if you ban me for this, but I have faith that you will understand why I took this step.

Whatever happens, all the best to you,
Rob

re: #277 bulwrk

I haven't heard that, what did he say?

Obama apologizes to Muslim women
Sen. Barack Obama today called the two Muslim women who were barred from sitting behind him at his Detroit rally to apologize, one of the women and two other sources said.

"Sen. Obama called himself and he apologized to each of us," one of the women, lawyer Hebba Aref, told me just now.

Aref, who had suggested that an appropriate fix might be seating her behind Obama at some future event, said she'd also discussed that possibility with his staff.

Aref and Shimaa Abdelfadeel had been barred from sitting behind Obama on Monday by volunteers concerned that they would appear on camera with him while wearing headscarves.

Can someone send this to Charles?

I would really like to believe that McRINO is changing his view on drilling and new nuclear power plants. But after watching Washington DC do nothing for the last forty years I just don't believe a word of it anymore.

We will have to lose a couple of cities before there is even a slight chance of anything really changing for the better.

Blackwater USA is an organization made up of Christian wingnuts, who believe that killing innocent Iraqi women and children will bring about the final battle in Jerusalem between the muslims, christians, and jews. Now, currently in our military there is also this problem as some commanders and generals believe this bull$hit too.

It’s a great sign that the Iraqi people want Blackwater USA out of Iraq.

I kind of like this bit, actually. If the Iraqi people could pull their act together and toss 'em out, it'd be a cause for celebration, if only of the first cohesive indigenous Iraqi action. But let's continue.


For those of you who don’t know what Blackwater USA is I’ll gladly explain. Blackwater USA is an organization made up of Christian wingnuts, who believe that killing innocent Iraqi women and children will bring about the final battle in Jerusalem between the muslims, christians, and jews.

This is a particularly Arabic mindset. I'm generalizing myself, of course, but often in the Middle East people assign a religion to someone even if none applies: There is no secular entity. Is Blackwater Islamic? Of course not. Is it Jewish? No. Well -- it must be Christian.

As for a final battle -- see Point No. 1 about the rarity of a single cohesive indigenous action.

Each Blackwater guard, if you can call them that, are earning $445,000 per year.

That's a chuckle, that bit.

In my mind this is a front organization for the protection of the far-right in Isreal, in other words a bunch of Zionist sympathizers.

In your mind, indeed. Lovely to see evidence for those of us living out here in the world, though.

Now that you know what this so call private military company, or as I call it mercenary organization, is doing, you won’t be fooled by right-wing nuts or Zionist sympathizers.

Just received this e-mail from Newt Gingrich's site:

I have some exciting news to share with you. Because of your hard work and support we reached one million signatures on the "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" petition.

Your voice and the voice of one million Americans is truly making a difference in shaping the national debate.

Just this week, President George Bush, Senator John McCain, and Florida Governor Charlie Crist all called for lifting the federal ban on offshore drilling. And U.S. Representative Lynn Westmoreland has started a pledge in the U.S. House in support of American oil production that has been signed by 126 members of Congress.

Now, we need your help to reach our next goal: 3 million signatures by the Democratic and Republican national conventions this fall. I hope you will go online today and make a special contribution of $10 or more to receive your own "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less" bumper sticker to help us grow the movement.

I also hope you'll forward this message to 5 friends and encourage them to sign the petition.

Thank you for supporting this movement of one million Americans demanding real solutions to our energy challenges.

Your friend,

Newt Gingrich
General Chairman
American Solutions

Internet addiction is a 'clinical disorder'

Obsessive internet use is a public health problem which is so serious it should be officially recognised as a clinical disorder, according to a leading psychiatrist.


They suffer four symptoms: They forget to eat and sleep; they need more advanced technology or more hours online as they develop 'resistance' to the pleasure given by their current system; if they are deprived of their computer, they experience genuine withdrawal symptoms; And in common with other addictions, the victims also begin to have more arguments, to suffer fatigue, to get lower marks in tests and to feel isolated from society.

From the article. How very forgiving of these Muslim women. Why are they so forgiving of Obama, yet most other grievances move into lawsuits? Hmmm.

This incident was unfortunate and extremely disappointing. Senator Obama has called us each to personally convey his deepest apologies and acknowledge that this was inexcusable. We both immensely appreciate the Senator's phone call and his commitment to remedy this issue. We commend him for displaying qualities befitting an effective President. We acknowledge that this injustice has been taken seriously and that Senator Obama does not tolerate discrimination against Arabs, Muslims or any community. We are assured that he and his staff are committed to upholding the principles of justice for all peoples and bringing about change we can believe in. The infringement on our rights occurred and has been addressed; now we are ready to move forward. We will continue to support Senator Obama in his campaign and wish him the best as the race continues.

re: #240 Quilly Mammoth

I just found the most precious quote from David Boren, newly placed on the Obama team. He explains why Obama isn't a liberal.

“I think that is largely a myth,” he said, picking apart the liberal ranking. “He has been in the Senate too short a time to take any particular votes as indicative of his ideology.”

I see, it’s not that he’s a liberal it’s that Obama doesn’t have any experience. Got it!


Boren to me is the epitome of a smarmy politician.

Obama's voting record in the Senate is primarily "not present" and his attendance at Foreign Relations Committee hearings on Afghanistan is pathetic.

His ideology is Marxist.

But momentum towards what? I happen to like America the way it is and don't want to "change" it into another Socialist Paradise.

(Sorry for delay. LGF was crawling for me for awhile)

I don't either--you and I know that issues are complex and proposed fixes are fraught with unintended consequences--but a large number of lefties buy into the simplistic rhetoric that America is bad and that once somebody like Obama gets in office and the Democrats take over congress, all their cares will vanish when the big tit in Washington feeds their every need.

The laziness that prevents one's own productive labor and the envy that resents those who are productive are very strong motivators among certain people. Add to that the old 60's refrain, "When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose" and you have a potent brew for street action.

To answer your question: momentum toward that very socialist paradise that you and I know contains a nest of vipers but that the naive hope will run with milk and honey.

More than a few of the large ISPs are known for doing this. Prodigy used to. They save huge amounts of bandwidth by cache the page and then serving the cached version up when somebody else call for the same page.

Your machine may also be cacheing the pages. You can get rid of that by going into Tools/Options and emptying your cache. Note: if you want to empty the cache of this page then you need to be somewhere else when you empty the cache.

A storm that bankrupts the rich sweeps away more than just the rich. It sweeps away Democrats, Republicans, and "Independence". It even sweeps away fools with pretensions to sophistication who cannot distinguish when to use "has" from when to use "have".

Hint: You has got it backwards. Your time have come to an end. Your storm have no stormtroopers. You has no stormtroopers either. When a man learns how to write, he have a powerful voice. He have respect. But your readers has no respect for your threats.

Uh, Throbert? You might wanna consider that LGF might not be the best place to work out your disagreements with evariste/Zorkmidden/Charles vis-a-vis Lawrence Auster.

You also might wanna consider that your rambling post manages to insult all of them, and doesn't do a thing to refute any of Auster's positions. If you want to prove your friendship for all, why not send everybody flowers, or buy them a nice CD? And if you don't like Auster, why not post about him, instead of DL/LGF?

If you remember the hurt feelings on the morning dead thread a couple weeks back, it could explain why many of us continued to see a comment after it was deleted.

There are lots of reasons why someone could still see a comment after it was deleted.

The real problem in that thread was that some people decided there was a personal reason for comments being deleted, and that one comment in particular had been deleted for no other reason. It's fallout from the 'monitor' announcement; some people really hated that idea. Tough.

Then when I showed them that a certain deleted post did indeed contain a quote from a deleted comment (when they were all insisting it didn't) -- they accused me of editing it to add the quote.

I don't do that. Period. I was insulted by that accusation, and I stlll am. Every one of those people who bought into the delusion should have known better. Some had been posting here for years, using my system, seeing how I work. There's no excuse for that.

I suspect that the price has long since exceeded the point where the high price is making up for the reduced demand.

Don't know about where you live, but up here we are seeing huge increased ridership on the commuter bus, much lower traffic on the interstate (rush hour no longer exists) and greatly decreased number os 18 wheelers at the truck stop. As a matter of fact, our gas started dropping a bit a couple of weeks back. Tourist season.

Yes, that is exactly what cacheing does. To get rid of it on just this page, empty your cache. (Tools/Options) You need to be on some other page than this one if you want to see the latest on this page.

In some browsers while you are fiddling around emptying the cache you can turn off cacheing and then it will no longer be a problem.

And then when I see some of the same people using stealth accounts to search comments here, and reporting the results, well ... call me corrupt and bullying if you like, but I'm going to ban their asses too.

Credit cards have made just about all retail prices in the nation a few percent higher, if you want to know the truth, because few merchants give a discount for cash, and so cash customers pay for the convenience of card carriers as well.

re: #331 Throbert McGee

Throbber, I plussed your #292 not because I agree with everything you said in that comment, but because I admire your honesty and courage in doing so.

You've done much good service for LGF, for more years than I've been here. If I have anything to say about it, we'll make room for you if you need a new home away from home.

===

"Evariste...

Anyway, I was not expecting things to shake out like this at all. I saw that on LGF, that slimy Render person, who, like Archduke Ferdinand's assassin, was just a bozo who didn't know he'd lit the match that set off a cataclysm, was basically pointing out that you are holding fast to an untenable place, and should, by the internal logic of your own stated positions, sever all ties with us. He was absolutely correct! By the logic of it, only personal sentiment could prevent you from doing so."

-What Ev does not and could not possibly know is that I knew exactly what I was doing when I lit that fuse. Because unlike Ev and Q, I've known what Auster and Jobling were about for quite some time. They're not new to me. Otherwise, Ev isn't so far off base with regards my comments to you.

===

"Zorkmidden

More crazy than the LGF poster who demanded that Throbert takes the DL link off his nick?"

I'm reasonably certain I didn't "demand" you do any such thing. Mostly because I don't have the power to make any demands around here, never have, and never will. I made a polite request of you - because I'm uncomfortable with what DL has become.

===

Ev says I'm "slime." Yet I'm not the one defending Auster and Jobling.

Ev agrees with Auster that I'm "insane." Yet I'm not the one advocating racial segregation and ethnic cleansing, nor am I defending those who are.

Q, Ev, Auster, and Jobling have repeatedly lied about what I posted in my fuse lighting comment. Their uncreative edits of that comment are still posted on Auster and Joblings blogs. My original and unedited comment remains as it was the day I posted it here.

===

Auster and Jobling are White Nationalists. As such their "peer group" and largest fan base includes the denizens of storm front. This shouldn't be all that surprising as Jobling worked for Jared Taylor up until 2006 and still uses Taylors work as the basis of his own work on racist theory.

Auster defended the Belgian neo-nazi party Vlaams Belang. I happen to think that Auster is lying when he says he'd never heard of them until October '07. Mostly because Austers name is mentioned on yet another blog as a defense of Vlaams Belang when they were forced to change their name from Vlaams Blok - in 2004.

===

All in all, I'd much rather be considered "slime" then to be considered an ally of VB, BNP or any of the other neo-nazi front groups.

I'd much rather be considered "insane" then to be a White Nationalist who's quoted approvingly from on the storm front website.

Those are points that every Jew on DL should be pondering right now.

re: #537 MandyManners

I read an article today about one gas station over in Charleston, W. Va., that no longer takes credit cards due to the fee the credit card company imposes.

Y'know, I really wonder about this. Out here in Los Angeles, ARCO stopped taking generic credit cards ten years ago, y'know, back when a fillup was $11.00. You gonna tell me that a gas station selling $60 fillups and running physical cards in realtime, is paying more than 2%? And are we supposed to believe this 7% profit business? I flat out don't believe it, the stations could NEVER have made money at that rate, I suspect that's triple-net, and the wholesale price of gas is probably a buck cheaper than the pump price at this point.

(grocery stores have pulled this scam for a generation, pleading about their 2% profits ... on 50% mark-ups)

Would you believe, half a buck?

Well, 7% of $4.00 is $0.28.

Hmm. Mebbe.

So, gas station owners, here's my free advice and worth every penny, raise your prices another ten cents and clean my windshield for me, and give me S&H Green Stamps.

The merchant "agrees" not to offer a discount for cash, as a condition of accepting credit cards. I also had to say I would not set a minimum purchase amount for credit card usage. I violate that one every day. Most of my customers do not know that their use of plastic costs me (and/or everybody) money. I educate as many as I can.

One fear could be that punitive taxes will become popular.

The other issue is that US oil companies have to meet (as publicly owned companies) specific requirements in defining "reserves" on their books, so that without new discoveries their reserves will be seen (rightly) as falling... not a good thing for the shareholders.

Although I am a skeptic about whether the currently off limits off-shore locations can make any substantial dent in US oil imports, nevertheless a company or two may find (what is to them) a significant discovery, thus an increase in the reserves on their books.

re: #567 yochanan

bottom land floods, this year no or little crops next year if it doesn't flood they will get bigger yealds than those farms not in bottom land. Then there is the question of homes in flood plains sorry everybody knows were the flood plains are. now years ago the rivers were the only way to ship things so there are towns all along the mississippi and some other rivers. they really should not rebuild in such places. and why should tax payers help them rebuild in a flood plain now if they do it outside of the flood plain that is something else.

i'm just concerned abt. farmers losing their crops. that's a sad thing.
if you've ever known farmers or farmed yourself, it is hard to see your fields under water.

O/T, but kinda weird-

Tim Russert's Wife Opens Up About His Death

Leaving their hotel room in Italy ahead of his wife and son to go back to Washington, D.C., so he could tape that Sunday's Meet the Press, Tim Russert was grabbed by his wife, PEOPLE reports in its latest issue, on sale Friday.

"I said to him, 'I want to give you a hug; maybe I'll never see you again,' " says journalist Maureen Orth, 65, speaking publicly about her husband for the first time since his June 13 passing – the day after he left Italy. "I don't know why I said that to him. I just had a feeling."

Russert was under extra stress at the time of his death: covering this year's presidential election, flying to Buffalo to visit his widowed father, Tim Sr., 84, in an assisted living facility – which Orth calls "a huge psychological strain for him."

Then there were his three days in Europe, part of the graduation present for the Russerts' son, Luke. "It was very hot and humid in Rome," says Orth. "I was so tired. I told him, 'I don’t know how you do it.' "

Russert was especially energetic when it came to his son, 22. "When it came to Luke, there was no detail too small," says Betsy Fischer, executive producer of Meet the Press.

On the morning of the day he died, she recalled, Russert took a chunk of time off from work to go to his son's new apartment in D.C. and wait for the cable man. "He could have hired someone to do it, but that wasn't Tim."

"Family and faith," Russert's colleague and friend Tom Brokaw writes in his own words for PEOPLE, "were the foundations of his life."

re: #438 Da_Beerfreak

You’re disgusted with the GOP for giving us such a “crappy” candidate?

You think that your little political issues are more important than winning this war?

So you’re going to send the GOP a “message” by not voting in this election?

Your null vote is a vote for Obama and the DNC.

The same Obama that said this...

"I'm the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning; and as president, I will end it.

"Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems.

"I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Review is not used to justify unnecessary defense spending.

"Third, I will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal."

[Link: www.ibdeditorials.com...]

Obama did not say “win” this war he clearly said “end it.”

In war the only opposite of the word “win” is “lose” because a draw is only a postponement.

An Obama who has said this repeatedly...

“Bringing Our Troops Home

Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.”

[Link: www.barackobama.com...]

As if a crushed and rapidly disolving al Qaeda in Iraq was Iraq’s only problem in the post Saddam world. What message does this send to those nations, (Turkey, Qatar, and Dijibouti), in that region that already have large US bases? What happens 15 months later to the last one or two US brigades in Iraq as the resurgent Iranian trained, supplied, and led Shia militias close down Iraq’s only ports of access to the sea? What happens to the US allied Iraqi military when they are cut off from their American sources of supply?

What message has Obama sent to the enemy by revealing his timetable like this? Not just to the enemy who now knows that if Obama is elected they only have to wait 16 months to retake all that they have lost over the last eight years. Not just to those nations in the region still sitting on the fence, what has Obama’s 16 months until enemy victory message sent to our tenuous allies in the region?

And you think you’re sending a message to the GOP by not pulling the right lever?

[Link: www.ford.utexas.edu...]

I can’t hear your message, it’s drowned out by other messages.

THAT’S
THE
WAY,
R

I finished reading Obama's proposed economic policies and have to say you can find no innovative or creative "change" in there, just the democrats usual class warfare scheme.

Instead on nationalism or patriotism the only thing they can hang their hat on is their insipid attempts to divide people based on income level. To say Obama's policies will be counter-productive to the overall economic recovery is an understatement.

I recall Al Gore's statement that the republicans " played on your fears". I would say Obama's "plays on your greed" when it comes to lower income people. The problem is that he doesn't explain that in giving them a transfer of wealth he is creating the conditions that will keep them lower income.

Would love to know how and where George Soros benefits from U.S. class stagnation and division.

If anyone honestly thinks McCain is not going to turn my great country into a socialist shithole, you're kidding yourselves (not necessarily you Cognito, just ramblin') and you better start "habla-ing" now...

I'm not sure how he can be any worse than Bush. Remember that McCain can't just do anything he wants. The trick is to get a genuinely conservative Congress installed to keep him in check. I'm not sure enough people realize the urgency of this. Currently Republicans stand to lose bad in both houses.

Remember though that DEMOCRATS in the House introduced an emminently sensible immigration bill not long ago, that was endorsed by NumbersUSA and other anti-illegal immigration organizations. They were clearly feeling the heat from their constituents.

McCain has also shown a willingness to change his mind in the RIGHT direction, such as drilling in ANWR. Perhaps we will see him "reaching across the aisle" to his own party for a change.

I know a La. Wildlife & Fisheries agent who was near the scene - they knew the boat wasn't plugged and didn't say anything, just kept back, as directed by Mr. Penn and staff, and laughed at what they knew was going to happen.

It really was a beautiful scene. I get a little tired of being lectured by insipid Hollywwod types, who were unable to complete their GED course.

Text of the ad....

I'm Barack Obama. America is a country of strong families and strong values. My life's been blessed by both.

I was raised by a single mom and my grandparents. We didn't have much money, but they taught me values straight from the Kansas heartland where they grew up. Accountability and self-reliance. Love of country. Working hard without making excuses. Treating your neighbor as you'd like to be treated. It's what guided me as I worked my way up -- taking jobs and loans to make it through college.

"It's what led me to pass up Wall Street jobs and go to Chicago instead, helping neighborhoods devastated when steel plants closed. That's why I passed laws moving people from welfare to work, cut taxes for working families and extended health care for wounded troops who'd been neglected.

"I approved this message because I'll never forget those values, and if I have the honor of taking the oath of office as president, it will be with a deep and abiding faith in the country I love.


Grandma's under the bus, has she be rehabilitated?

Nice conservative values.... That lead you to be an Alinskyite organizer? Pandering BS, you become a Alinskyite with Socialist values....

You have a love for your vision of American, a socialist America, not the America that was and is.

Completely off topic, but whatever...

This is my first post since switched over from Ubuntu 8.04 to Gentoo. Gentoo, so far, appears to be stable but it is far different from Ubuntu. I loved apt-get on Ubuntu, but I think I am absolutely smitten with Gentoo's portage.

The only issue at the moment is doing emerge -e mozilla-firefox did not install Firefox 3, but Firefox 2. This is a small issue, one that will be resolved later, but at least I can browse the web in something other than links or lynx for now.

In case anyone is wondering, no, I have not finished compiling gnome yet, so I am stuck using fluxbox for now. I haven't even set it up so that X starts on boot, nor have I set up wireless yet.

To any curious Windows user looking for an easy to use Linux distro, I'd have to recommend Ubuntu. I think it is the n00b distro and it Just Works (TM). It detected all of my stuff perfectly. I'm only using Gentoo because I just want to try it out.

Here is a nice quote from a lady in Cedar Rapids about the President's visit today.

"I really don't have much of an opinion of his coming," said Lashawn Baker, 33, whose family was just starting to clean her flooded home in a southwest Cedar Rapids neighborhood. "It took him a long time to get to New Orleans and he didn't help any of those people, so I don't think he's going to do anything to help Cedar Rapids now that he's here."


Nice.

Don Surber is a funny guy...

USUALLY when people do these “Where Are They” now stories, they concentrate on the actors. Knowing what happened to Jerry Mathers is nice, I suppose. But I tuned in “Leave It To Beaver” to see what Theodore Cleaver was up to, not some actor.

So let us look at what happened to some of those old characters...The happiest ending, though, came from a character from the “Family Matters” show.

Steve Urkel went on to Columbia while the love of his life, Laura Winslow, sadly went on to Princeton.

But they finally did go to school together when they went to law school. They got married and had two little girls.

Thanks to her policeman father’s connections to the Chicago political machine, Steve Urkel was able to get into politics, where he rubbed shoulders with former hippie radicals, helping him woo left-wing votes and the big money they carry. He also attended a “black liberation theology” church which gave him more connections with the movers and shakers in the black community.

Last I heard, he was elected to the U.S. Senate and was thinking about running for president.

That would make him the first accordion-playing presidential candidate.

Mark Steyn discusses spread of Islam in the West, human rights courts' prosecution

FTA

If found guilty by the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal, Maclean’s could be ordered to stop publishing Steyn’s column, or other articles “likely” to expose Muslims to “hatred or contempt.” In other words, a magazine that’s been published for over a century in an ostensibly free Western nation will now be subject to state sanction and preemptive censorship. Canadian Human Rights Tribunals boast a 100% conviction rate on such “hate speech” cases, and have already handed down lifetime bans against the likes of Rev. Scott Boision. That Christian preacher is now forbidden for life from ever citing Bible verses regarding homosexuality in his sermons, or “in newspapers, by email, on the radio, in public speeches, or on the Internet.”

This attack on free speech as engendered a million times more contempt than the original article.

How long before they start impeaching conservative judges. I'm looking way ahead, not just to November.

re: #725 freetoken

The flood levels in some places were above the 500-year flood level!


I know all about the 500 year flood level. I can go to my local township office and get a flood plain map of my town where that zone is carefully delineated. We have seen rainfall amounts in my area in my lifetime, post-hurricane Floyd, that nearly reached that level. People really should not consider that as something that is not going to happen every 500 years.

You know, what is truly remarkable with the events surrounding the floods in the Midwest as compared to what happened in NOLA is that people are actually being proactive, instead of just standing around waiting for the "government" to show up and fix everything. People are driving from miles and miles away from the flood zones to help with the sandbagging efforts, and you hear very, very few people whining about how little the government is doing. It is self-reliance at it's finest.

The dirty little secret about the difference in how Midwesterners and New Orleanites is the fact that every aspect of the lives of those dealing with the floods this year isn't steeped in liberalism. These are people who don't expect someone else to do everything for them. They are people who work hard, and know that you don't get anywhere by not working. This same thing happened during the fires in San Diego last year, and during the ice storms that hit Oklahoma and Arkansas last year (or was it the year before? Things run together...).

The essential, comparative question is, what the hell is wrong with New Orleans? I think the answer should be pretty obvious, but I guess it's easier to just blame BusHitler.

BTW, just saw the actual Obama add on H&C - it's even more sappy and disgusting visually. I hate it when politicians and stupid little liberal activist groups play the same "lite" acoustic guitar in the background of adds.

Speaking of floodgates, a friend's nephew age 8, drown in a river last week.

He watched his lips turn blue, and he died in his arms. There were no grates or warnings around this pipe and they both got swept over towards it.

re: #743 FamHistoryGuy

Gentoo is stable which means no new/cutting edge aps. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and it automatically updated to FF3. The update feature automatically checks for updates and asks if I want to install.

Uh, Gentoo is cutting edge. I'm thinking I just forgot to sync my packages or something. I, too, was using Ubuntu just a few hours ago and it was perfect. Or, near perfect. Gentoo, if you don't know, is a source distribution ie everything is compiled. Portage downloads the source to everything, along with dependencies, and compiles the program based on whatever flags you set. You set global flags, and then local ones per-program if you need to. Because of this, Gentoo is faster than other distros, and allows complete customization of everything. It has the major downside of taking much longer to set up (Hours, instead of 30 minutes or so). However, portage has probably the most packages of any package manager. It doesn't install everything like Ubuntu will. For example, installing KDE on Ubuntu will install things like kate. I don't need kate, and so on Gentoo don't install it.

Gentoo usually has the most bleeding edge technology due to its power user orientation. We want the latest and greatest, and we get it.

Ubuntu is great for home use, and the average home user. However, I want more control over my configuration. Plus, Gentoo is a great Linux teaching tool. Take any n00b and have them install Gentoo and they probably won't be terrified of the CLI anymore.

You have a good reticular activating system.

The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is a cluster of nerve cells in the brainstem that regulate alertness and attention. We are bombarded by thousands of stimuli every second--different sights, sounds and sensations. It is the job of the RAS to regulate which stimuli you pay attention to and which stimuli you ignore. It is the gatekeeper or screening device. Or think of it as mental radar. The RAS determines what you notice and what goes unnoticed.

The Republicans have let the country-club liberal wing take it over, they let cross-over voters, independents, & the media pick our candidate. The Dems seem to be in a spiraling race to the bottom to find ever more outrageous, radical, and frankly, dumb candidates to put forward. Obama doesn't have somebody pulling his strings -- he's got frickin' ropes moving him around. A guy with the kind of experience he has should never have gotten past the first caucus and now he's the leading candidate!?

I wasn't really counting while I was at it, but some of those people had MULTIPLE accounts here. If you think I'm going to stand by and watch as they fuck up my web site, you're insane.

Charles -- that part I honestly did not know. I've always thought that the DL/LGF back-and-forth sissyslaps were tedious and childish. And I still feel guilty for having done my part to precipitate the fighting with that bright-yellow post back during the Schiavo controversy. So I've always scrolled by those threads, until this recent dust-up over Larry Auster. And I really and truly do not get why anyone would think it was kosher to do the multiple stealth accounts thing. As you know, I only have two accounts here at LGF -- mine and Rugby's -- and am a strong believer in transparency, which is why my preferred screen name is only two letters different from the one on my driver's license, and why I chose no-brainer anagrams like "Beth Greem, ROTC" during that Beauchamp flap.

As for "This just sucks. And you know better" -- well of course I know better. The "corrupt cop" thing was an, 'ow you say, rhetorical tactic. I'm sure there's a specific Greek name for it, but I can't think of it right now. But I know that you're not really corrupt, or a bully.

P.S. Speaking of that bright-yellow Schiavo post -- I just checked, and whaddaya know, it's still up on LGF. (Although not bright yellow anymore... and teaching Ed the Weatherman how to CSS-style text is another thing that I've long felt guilty about.) Anyway, for a hysterically thin-skinned totalitarian crusher of all who dare question your infallible pronunciamentos (©2008 L.Auster), you certainly aren't very thorough!

On Shep Smith's show today, P.J. Crowley (Center for American Progress) put the blame for the USAF's incompetence of late squarely on the shortcomings created by the 1992 restructuring.

Ahh... that would be Obama's own Merrill "Tony" McPeak.

His tenure also saw major reduction in force as a result of the end of the Cold War; during his time as Chief of Staff, he oversaw the disbandment of Strategic Air Command, Air Force Systems Command and Air Force Communications Command, with assets transferred primarily to Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Force Materiel Command and the Air Force Communications Agency. McPeak pushed through major organizational change, aimed at streamlining and emphasizing operations and combat readiness. Much of his tenure focused on elevating the status of the fighter pilot, frequently at the expense of other flying and non-flying career fields. He also created the Air Force Expeditionary Wing concept, a fusion of combat forces and support into a single organization.

Umm,

What does DL stand for? I am an occasional poster and probably mostly a pest, but I have been trying to follow this undercurrent running through the thread about some posters and their actions on/off the LGF boards...

i'm woefully behind on the lingo.

What does DL stand for?

It stands for "Discarded Lies" -- a name that I think has layers of personal meaning to the blog co-owners, "Evariste" and "Zorkmidden," but I can give you at least part of the story.

Evariste is the American-born son of Jordanian immigrants -- ethnically, he's a Palestinian Arab, and was raised Muslim. When he was a teenager, his parents sent him to attend high school in Jordan, so that he wouldn't become excessively Americanized. That backfired spectacularly. As a consequence of various things he was exposed to in Jordan, when he returned to the States he declared his apostasy from Islam, became estranged from his family, legally changed his Arabic name to an English one that symbolized his newly developed admiration for Israel, and is now an ex-Muslim atheist and staunch Zionist.

Zorkmidden is a naturalized American citizen who was born and raised in Greece. Despite being from a relatively well-off family and thus having had a high-quality education, she didn't learn about the Holocaust of European Jews until she was in college -- because that's how things work in the (largely church-controlled) Greek school system. She is now also a non-religious, non-Jewish Zionist.

Thus, they "discarded lies" that they'd learned growing up. They really are both excellent people despite Ev's current and disturbing adulation of Auster.

re: #825 Throbert McGee

I remember one of the posters over at DL calling me a "Retarded Chimp" in some disagreement, or other. (It was the one who calls himself "Little-White-House-Dutch-Boy something or other; he's had a lot of nics.)

I also remember the one who called me a "Dickwad"---when I insulted him by actually agreeing with him about something! (If I'd disagreed, I guess he'd've had to hire a hit man to bump me off.)

I also remember Bigel. And the woman poster, who wanted to castrate everything male.

re: #557 Render

Throbber, I plussed your #292 not because I agree with everything you said in that comment, but because I admire your honesty and courage in doing so.

You've done much good service for LGF, for more years than I've been here. If I have anything to say about it, we'll make room for you if you need a new home away from home.

Thank you, Render. I promise you that I am worth taking a chance on. In the meantime, I wonder if you could take a few minutes to read this post I made on a DL thread. I think it was well-argued, and written with as much clarity as I could muster, but a lot of the people at DL seemed to find it perplexing and obscure, for some reason. So I'd like a second opinion.

849 Throbert McGee  Thu, Jun 19, 2008 9:57:27pm

Also, if anyone could please take a moment to read this thread, because I feel like I'm having some kind of a bad fever dream as I read the responses to my explanation about the origin of "Discarded Lies".

850 TalkinKamel  Thu, Jun 19, 2008 9:59:39pm

re: #848 Throbert McGee

Throbert, please read my post, which comes right before yours.

Why would you be surprised that a lot of the DL posters didn't understand it (or, more likely, just didn't agree with you?) Many of the posters over there---not all of them, to be sure, but a lot---have, um, "comprehension" problems.

(I used to argue myself blue in the face with the two white racist posters. Didn't convince them of anything, and was just a waste of my time and energy.)

Furthermore, why are you working so hard to get LGF involved in this dispute?

851 TalkinKamel  Thu, Jun 19, 2008 10:02:19pm

re: #849 Throbert McGee

I' took a glimpse at the thread, and found it sad and downright disinheartening.

Please, whatever you're trying to do---cut it out. Right now.

852 Throbert McGee  Thu, Jun 19, 2008 10:14:28pm

TalkinKamel, I'm only trying to save DL from Ev, and save Ev from Lawrence Auster, who is of the devil.

853 TalkinKamel  Thu, Jun 19, 2008 11:12:49pm

You didn't see this coming? It's been going on for some time.

Only Ev can save Ev (from Lawrence Auster, or anything else), and DL has, unfortunately, been getting increasingly strange, for a while now.

Looking at the comments, I don't think anybody over there is interested in being saved. And you need to back away from the computer, and get some perspective on this.

854 Render  Thu, Jun 19, 2008 11:40:19pm

re: #848 Throbert McGee

I don't see anything wrong with what you posted, with one exception.

You're finding the same wall I found at GCP. They both seem to collectively suffer from Charles Derangement Syndrome.

I don't have a cure for that because I have no idea what causes it. But I do have a work around - I give them a chance to change their minds and if they don't, I ignore them forever after.

===

I really don't care one way or another how they feel about Charles personally. My Man Mr. Johnson already has about a bazillion screaming jihadis, other White Nationalists, and assorted neo-nazi types who hate him as well.

What I do care about is when they side with people like Auster and Jobling, in spite of the truth of what Auster and Jobling are being right in their faces. It's not like either of them are hiding it. Both of them are overly verbose about their own racism on their own blogs.

Credit where credit is due, they've each written pieces condemning David Duke. However, given their all too obvious connections to the movement that Duke is de facto leader of, those denunciations are to little too late and very hollow. Those denunciations are no more valid then the occasional anti-Duke rantings of an Alex Linder or a Bill White are, for the exact same reasons.

While they may very well be in separate and competing factions, they are all part of the same ugly movement.

Which is exactly what I said in the comment that Ev metaphorically referred to as a fuse.

All one has to do is Google "lawrence auster stormfront" and all will be revealed.

I just need to say thank you to, Render, and TalkinKamel, and Charles, and a good night's sleep, and possibly to God, who I think may have been whispering in my ear last night.

Suffice to say that DL will not be my home any more, although Rugby the Rat and I have one more fuse to light.

Render, I think you're wrong -- or only half-right -- about one thing:

They both seem to collectively suffer from Charles Derangement Syndrome.

CDS it may well be, but in Ev's case, it occurred to me last night that there might also be father-figure issues explaining his bend-over-backwards apologia for Lawrence Auster.

858 Throbert McGee  Fri, Jun 20, 2008 11:12:47am

re: #854 Render

I don't see anything wrong with what you posted, with one exception.

Out of curiosity, what was the mistake you saw in my post?

I should also say that although Auster's "race realism" is very much part of the problem, there's something else that's just as important to me. As I wrote to Charles above:

Speaking of that bright-yellow Schiavo post -- I just checked, and whaddaya know, it's still up on LGF. (Although not bright yellow anymore... and teaching Ed the Weatherman how to CSS-style text is another thing that I've long felt guilty about.) Anyway, for a hysterically thin-skinned totalitarian crusher of all who dare question your infallible pronunciamentos (©2008 L.Auster), you certainly aren't very thorough!

The citizens of DL have been very insistent on the point that CJ is hysterically quick to ban anyone who dares question him. Yet, he didn't ban me after I admitted the recent "corrupt and bullying cop" comments, and obviously he never deleted that 2005 post I refer to.

Conversely, when I pointed out to Ev that everything appearing on Auster's site has been pre-screened by Auster (because of a supposedly buggy comment system that had to be disabled), he informed me:

Auster had an automatic comments system in the recent past, and you can see many threads in his archives that show them. He had to disable it because his web host sucks, his blogging software sucks, and it was beyond his abilities or interest as a non-techie to figure out how to make it work tolerably well. I haven't heard the details, but I know he's using Movable Type, which I know from my own experiences with it has always been extremely heavy on servers, very vulnerable to spam, and simply has an incompetently-implemented commenting system. The current comment system is a burden on him, and he has very recently expressed the wish to return to the old way. I would rue and lament it if he found a way to do it because his current curated comments are of such high quality, as I expressed to him at the time.

I responded:

The comments over there are certainly untainted by anything resembling vigorous criticism of Auster's pet views -- so if that's what you consider to be "high quality," I must concede the point to you.

That reply went unanswered by Ev, and consequently was ignored by everyone else, which pretty much told me what I needed to know about Ev. And I'm not going to be wasting my time preparing a detailed expose of Auster, because I know that Ev won't listen, and fear that no one else at DL will openly defy Ev on this matter.

859 Render  Fri, Jun 20, 2008 11:43:02am

re: #858 Throbert McGee

The "wrong" part was not seeing the CDS wall. I've been guilty of that same mistake as well, no biggie.

===

The real reason that Auster and Jobling moderate all comments on their blogs is because if they don't moderate, they'd get flooded with even more of the stormfronters and VNNers who comprise the bulk of Auster and Joblings fan base.

"Several more comments on this thread came in today. The two comments just before this one adequately state both sides of this question. As I said last night, I don’t want discussion of this topic on this site, so I won’t be posting any more of the comments that came in.

By Ian Jobling on 5/12/08 at 6:57 pm"

Um- having read some in the archives- I'll go with the CDS. That seed was planted long ago.

I can understand how this might be difficult for you, as we saw a similar difficulty last fall for some people and a certain other blogger who shall remain nameless. I agree with Kamel- you can't save people from themselves. With all due respect- you could have seen this coming from 4 years away. People who betray decent folks should not be trusted.

I don't know if you can blame absolutely everything on McPeak, but he did a lot of damage in a short period. I like how the article highlights his Composite Wing. Fortunately, the idiocy that was the composite wing has since been relegated to the dustbin of military history.

By the time McPeak left, he was hated by pretty much every officer and enlisted person in the Air Force, me included.
