Gosh Yogi!


Ponder This!!!!
I didn't really say everything I said.
- Yogi Berra


Do you think John McCain might be able to appreciate the wisdom of the great Yankees' Hall of Fame catcher, wordsmith, and folksy philosopher?


When the public hears pronouncements by the Obama campaign that John McCain would be okay with the Iraq War going on for 100 years and that "The fundementals of the economy are fundementallly strong," the venerated Arizona Senator must be left scratching his brow, as it's hard not to hear Obama in his stump speeches or the mindless hoard of Obama supporters constantly drilling home these two issues alleged to have been asserted by John McCain.


Did John McCain say such things? Of course he did, but what the cynical, hateful, dishonest truth is, these were taken out of a broader context where the Republican nominee had something entirely different to say, and in the proper context, his points were quite valid.


This represents the low of the low, "gotcha" politics at its most reprehensible, and reflects on the desperation of the Democratic cause that they have to run with dishonest distortions in such a deceptive manner. It also reflects directlty on the absolute lack of character and slimey opportunism of Barack Obama himself.


If manipulating and abusing the words of others for the sake of his own fortune is how Obama plays the game, a man of that character is unfit to be President.


To be fair, some of McCain's strategies have walked a fine line. Senator McCain and Governor Palin do not need to play that game in even its mildest form and would be well served to contrast themselves by seeking a higher road in their campaign rhetoric. They don't need to twist things only speak the truth to reveal Barack Obama as a dreadfully dangerous choice to hold the most powerful job in the world.

Sarah Palin's Personal Email Illegally Hacked; Popular Website Publishes Material


Just how low can things go in today's society? The hate mongers on the far left will stop at nothing to embarass and discredit anyone who doesn't share their warped sick view of the world. Needless to say, Republican VP candidate, Sarah Palin, provides a perfect target for their mischief.


The story is quite simple. Sarah Palin maintained a yahoo.com email account for personal messages. This email was hacked. The results were published on http://www.gawker.com/, a website supposedly dedicated itself to be, "The source for daily Manhattan media news and gossip..."


Time magazine's website attributes the hacking to the anti-religious organization, Anonymous, who've largely dedicated their efforts against Scientology but is another one of the extreme "protest" groups who find any means are okay to justify their nebulous means.


See the following link for Time magazine's garbage: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1842097,00.html


What's fascinating about the Time piece is how it starts off as a report on Ms. Palin's email being hacked. Nowhere in the article does the article indicate such hacking is a Federal crime subject to prosecution. Quickly, the article transitions to discussion of whether Palin used her private email to conduct state business which they assert could represent criminal activity on her part. Finally, the article finishes on John McCain's confession of being a computer illiterate on whether he prefers PC or Mac.


The story, is the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate had her personal email hacked by CRIMINALS. She was the victim of a vicious crime designed to embarass and discredit her. Further, a well-known website chose to spread the "gossip" further deepening the ruthless attack on Ms. Palin.


How bad can it get? Any kind of slime directed toward public figures representing traditional American values seems to be fair game even if its criminal. A popular website has no reservations about publishing material obtained illegally. Finally, one of the nation's top news sources, Time magazine, same company as CNN, uses reporting this episode as a chance to bash the Republican ticket.


YOU IDIOTS, MS. PALIN IS THE VICTIM OF A CRIME, GOT IT!!!!

This is just plane SICK!!!

Obama Campaign's Shameless Attempt to Censor Hometown Radio Station





Free Press in Obama Nation: If You Don’t Like The Message Silence The Messenger

The Obama campaign put forth tremendous effort to block an appearance by Stanley Kurtz on Chicago news-talk station, WGN-AM. WGN is Chicago’s top news-talk station much like WBAL-AM in Baltimore, WMAL-AM in Washington, DC, or WABC-AM in New York. It is owned by the Chicago Tribune, hence the call letters, WGN, “World’s Greatest Newspaper,” in turn a part of Tribune Company, one of the nation’s largest media conglomerates which owns major news papers such as the Los Angeles Times, The Orlando Sentinel, Baltimore Sun, and numerous television station including stations in the top five TV markets as well as nearby in Washington, Philadelphia, and York, PA. WGN is hardly the property of a bunch of right wing zealots. Hardly, examining their newspaper holdings, one would see some of the most extreme examples of liberal bias in the country. Nevertheless, the Obama campaign cannot trust them to interview, Stanley Kurtz.

Stanley Kurtz is a well known conservative intellectual, a Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center an adjunct fellow for the Hudson Institute. Kurtz is also a doctor in social anthropology from Harvard University. He is a frequent contributor as a commentator and highly skilled investigative journalist for the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and Weekly Standard. These are all venerated publications but not allies of the Liberal Media led by The New York Times, The Washington Post, and notably in this case, the Tribune papers, whose radio affiliate in Chicago scheduled to interview him. Kurtz is no flame-throwing right wing extremist. In fact, he’s a Harvard grad, a reputable intellectual with much more substantial credentials than conservative leaning investigative reporters or talk show luminaries like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Plain and simple, Kurtz is a smart fellow with an impeccable reputation.

Why is Obama upset? Quite simply, Kurtz has researched thoroughly and documented Obama’s close connection with William Ayers, the former key member of the dangerous Weathermen Underground Organization, examining Obama’s relationship with Ayers through their involvement with Annenburg foundation. Stanley Kurtz has also taken a much deeper look at Obama’s relationship with radical Chicago church figure, Jeremiah Wright.

Obama’s efforts are documented by Ben Smith’s article at Politico.com. See following link: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0808/Obama_camp_blasts_National_Review_writer_as_slimy_character_assassin.html

Obviously, the Obama forces are very disturbed to have far more specific details of his tight connections with extreme radicals moving into a new theater, WGN-AM radio represents. First, WGN broadcasts from Chicago, Obama’s own backyard. Second, nothing is more mainstream media than the Tribune organization. The Obama campaign has maintained a constant vigil against its media critics trying to paint them all as extreme right wing talk show hosts or representatives of the dreaded Fox News Channel where conservative commentator, Sean Hannity, has become one of the campaign’s favorite whipping boys.

Here’s the Obama organization’s call to arms as published by the Chicago Tribune. http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-obama-wgn,0,3744149.story

Barack Obama needs a sympathetic press that will overlook his treachery and lack of experience to continue to engage in the myth making process that made his nomination as the Democrat’s candidacy for President possible. Slowly, the unabridged glowing support of Obama’s efforts by key media outlets is becoming more apparent to the public. The NBC news organization had to pull Keith Olbermann and Chris Mathews from their anchor duties in Campaign 2008 broadcasts for their unabashed enthusiasm and shilling for the Obama/Biden ticket. In their place, they installed fanatic Bush-basher, David Gregory, but still they attempted to create the illusion they were trying to correct a perceived bias. Witnessing last weekend’s all out assault on Sarah Palin by virtually every New York Times columnists last week spare David Brooks including vicious character assassinations by Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd, Obama’s success rests largely on a dedicated media machine that continues to mythologize the inexperienced extremist junior Senator while demonizing anyone in a position to hurt his efforts.

Only in such a setting could Barack Obama, take a statement out of context from a recent John McCain campaign speech where McCain affirmed that the “fundamentals of the American economy are strong” in which McCain was detailing the depth and extent of the current financial crisis, and spin it around to pronounce that McCain is convincing the public that all is well on Wall Street with nothing to worry about on Main Street. This juicy sound byte was pulled for a barrage of malicious blatantly dishonest attack ads by the Obama campaign that completely distorts his opponent’s position. True to form, the press has given Obama a free pass on this ad, not revealing his treacherous manipulation and false assertions.

Not since Richard Nixon has a Presidential figure been so intolerant of any opposition particularly in the media. Further, the extent to which a biased press is crucial to keep Obama’s misinformation campaign alive and well is absolutely disturbing in a free society. To say this resembles how TASS operated in the Soviet Union is a pretty cliché assertion by now, but if the attempts to muzzle Howard Kurtz while at the same time fabricating blatantly false attack ads create yet a even more severe sense of Orwellian paranoia, a mindset that would be life as normal in the Obama Nation.

Every responsible American must wake up to just how dangerous a threat Barack Obama represents to the future of the United States. It’s not simply good enough for Barack Obama to lose the election, but his methodology must be exposed and rejected. More so, his extremist political philosophy and its harm to our civilization must be thoroughly revealed and vanquished.

Meanwhile, stay tuned to most major network news outlets or big city newspapers and see the propaganda charade in full regalia.

HAPPY ENDING: WGN DID BROADCAST THE INTERVIEW!

Joe Biden: Contributions to Charity -- Put Your Money Where Your Big Mouth Is!



Miserly Contributions to Charity Go Right to the Core of the Liberal Lie, Those Who Pretend to Believe in Benefiting the Less Fortunate Talk the Talk but Refuse to Walk the Walk



Joe Biden’s and his wife, Jill’s tax returns were made public as part of the disclosure process followed by candidates for major office. For a family taking in over $200,000 every year for the past ten years, only once, last year, when the family income exceeded $300,000 did the Biden’s give more than $380 a year to charity.

In the Liberal world, life is a “Do as I say, not as I do! reality where their conduct is not subject to the same kind of rules they expect out of others. Is it possible that their endorsement of all kinds of government entitlements to fix society’s problems is a reflection that if something isn’t mandated by law, people are essentially as greedy and self-serving as they are?

There are so many ways average citizens give to support programs and efforts that help others out of the goodness of their hearts and sense of duty to their fellow man whether it’s chipping in some money in the church collection plate, having a little bit taken out of each paycheck to support the United Way, or directly donating to all kinds of good organizations that are in the trenches helping others from helping seniors and the poor to programs that benefit children like the Scouts (Boys and Girls). This is something that good working people do just because it is the right thing to do.

What better event to show the necessity of charitable giving than seeing who comes rushing in when disaster strikes as what is going on in Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, the Red Cross and Salvation Army among many others are right there providing aid and comfort to those whose lives who are turned inside out by such disasters.

How can those of us who contribute to various charities in all the different ways we can and see what’s going on before our eyes in Texas and not be horribly insulted by the Biden family’s miserly giving?

Contrast this to the McCain family with just one for instance, Mrs. McCain bringing home a girl with Downs Syndrome from Bangladesh and adopting her? Further, Sarah Palin’s road to politics started working as a PTA volunteer for the benefit of her childrens’ and their community’s schools.

Words mean nothing. Actions mean everything when a person’s character is on display. Who wants to imagine what the excuses and rationale might be. For every person who pays with his or her time and money whether donating money to helping organizations, participating in Walk-a-thons, clean-up days in their communities, or providing rides for medical appointments for the disabled or elderly, how can a caring person not see the horrible hypocrisy, greed, and arrogance demonstrated by Biden’s habits?

Does anyone think this man is capable of feeling shame for this? What a blatant disgrace. Character is what folks show when no one else is watching, doing something because it’s the right thing to do not something a person has to do.


Year/Adjusted Gross Income/Charity
1998 $215,432 $195
1999 $210,797 $120
2000 $219,953 $360
2001 $220,712 $360
2002 $227,811 $260
2003 $231,375 $260
2004 $234,271 $380
2005 $321,379 $380
2006 $248,459 $380
2007 $319,853 $995
Total $2,450,042 $3,690

On What Legs Does Obama Stand?

Those of a Knock-Kneed Communist. Don't Believe It? Read On....


Do you listen to Barack Obama or just let the media paint your picture of the man? This race has been going on long enough that we know for certain Obama’s accomplishments to qualify him in any measure to be President do not exist. They do not exist. There are none. Deal with it! We know his background consists of two primary influences: extreme radicals steeped in 60’s radicalism and “Liberation Theology,” and the Richard Daley led corrupt and abusive political machine. We should also see that Obama’s knowledge base to support his positions is likewise quite flimsy. Listen to Obama state his positions or answer questions in interviews. Obama does not rattle off carefully documented facts and figures. He does not reflect on historical precedence. He really doesn’t show much of anything that serves as the source of any of his notions. What Obama does consistently say are things like, “Well it’s always been my position.” “I’ve said many times before.” “I think………”

Got it? If Barack "The Great One" says it, it must be so. If Obama speaketh, his words are beyond reproach, analysis, or criticism. Whoa be unto he who dares challenge “the Great One” however. To disagree with Obama is to be clouded by bitterness brought on by those poor souls who cling to their guns and religion. They could also be people who have a problem with him because he doesn’t look like “those presidents on the dollar bills.” To support alternative notions to his notions is to be sympathetic to corporate greed, the big oil companies, and those horrible rich people which he defines as people making more than $250,000 a year.

It’s classic Marxist class struggle nonsense prettied up for today’s media market. The United States is a fluid culture where generation to generation people move from one class to another – generally up not down. There are no clear walls of distinction between working and middle class. In fact, many blue collar jobs pay better than professional jobs – not just teachers, nurses, and public safety professionals but also white collar jobs across many occupations. With a little entrepreneurial wisdom, working class citizens become millionaires starting a business or exploiting a new idea.

Obama’s “pledge” not to raise taxes on middle class citizens rings hollow. What would slapping taxes on “excess” corporate profits accomplish for instance? The revenue seized by the government from corporate America has to be made up for by those companies in some measure. Companies can raise prices, reduce its workforce, or move more operations overseas where they are not subject to U.S. taxes. In any case, who pays for it? The American public!

At the heart of Obama’s view of society is that wealth is largely ill-begotten that the wealthy have amassed their fortune at the expense not to the benefit of those folks the Democrats love to call “working people.” Government’s job is to promote some kind of ideological social justice providing the big cookie jar of goodies for all those who feel they are entitled to some benefit they cannot easily obtain on their own within the limits of their income. For instance, if a family can’t afford college, it’s the government to give them money to afford it. Naturally, it’s perfectly okay for people like Mrs. Obama to become a millionaire as a lawyer. After all, their wealth is just compensation for seeking justice representing some aggrieved party against some agent who has exploited, abused, or victimized by evil forces in society who either have the means to pay or should be forced to pay. That's the foundation of the litigious society the Obamas' represent.
x
The United States is a society based on personal responsibility and freedom not one where from each the government extracts from its citizens according to their perceived ability to pay and redistributes according to its rulers perception of citizens’ needs. The notion of freedom is the very foundation on which this country was founded in the Declaration of Independence and enumerated into a structure for government in the U.S. Constitution. We granted certain inalienable rights by our Creator and thus are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There are no stipulations that the citizens are entitled to any level of standard of living or that a person is not entitled to the wealth he or she is able to produce. Looking to the earliest events of the American Revolution, the first acts of rebellion, the famous “Boston Tea Party,” were largely due to excessive taxation – taxation without representation. The alternate view supported by the Obama movement is explicitly un-American as it is implicitly Marxist.

Let Obama whine all he likes about people questioning his love of America and his patriotism. It is not the voter’s obligation to give a damn what Barack Obama’s personal feelings are. His feelings are best represented by his actions. Preaching the mantra of “change” means one thing if it’s to weed out corruption and systems that don’t work to support the vision of the United States Constitution but if “change” is based on the perception that there is something fundamentally wrong with how American society is structured is something entirely different. One vision is American democracy. The other is, let’s be straight forward and perfectly honest with no euphemisms or spin, Communism. To chip away at the free enterprise system and let the government decide who gets what isn’t the United States of America as we’ve known and loved it; it’s an Obama-Nation.

Once more, let's set the record straight, Barack Obama is a delusional opportunist, grotesquely self-infatuated, incapable of accepting criticism, steeped in Marxist ideology, a true sophist, whose rhetorical skills are dedicated to divisive demagoguery in its most hideous form. His very presence as a Presidential candidate cheapens the American presidency to where the election has been reduced to a pop culture extravaganza. Just as disgraceful, what should be a cause for tremendous historic achievement, his nomination as the first non-white candidate, that a bi-racial American considered a Black man by the population has been absolutely cheapened to be hardly more than a vanity issue for a truly repugnant human being who has no lineage to the African-American population, the descendants of slavery who've fought for generations to gain parity with their white counterparts only to have their spot in history seized by the son of a Kenyan immigrant and white Kansas mother giving him no place in the historical struggle of a once outwardly racist society. There is nothing heroic about Obama's pursuit. His story is one of a maniacal egotist hooked on the powerful narcotic of self, yet another extreme example of the "Me" generation at its ugliest. Pay not one ounce of attention to any Obama claims to religion or his faith. His negative influences such as Jeremiah Wright, the hate spewing anti-White misogynistic and Michael Flagger are well-known. If there are positive influences, members of the church, or spirirual influences, who are they? Marxism and radical activists accept their ends justify their means. If cloaking one's message in the Word of God, so be it. Talk the Christian talk, but walk the socialist walk. A survey of Obama's political positions shows him consistently aligned with the most blantant form of secular humanism.

God bless America. God damn Obama-Nation.

What Obama Is Doing Right




HONEST INJUN!!! Geronimo embraces new warfare technology of the time. Consider the consequences if Native Americans had guns and ammo as Europeans pursued "manifest destiny." The little device pictured here could be John McCain's undoing.





One on area, the claim of Barrack Obama is a 21st candidate is right on. Obama is a student of the information age and his opponent is absolutely clueless. When it comes to using information technology Obama's campaign is darn near state of the art where the McCain effort has only made it to the 1980's, the dawn of cable television and cable news. What it amounts to is the Obama forces are fighting with guns and bullets where McCain's tribe has only spears, bows and arrows in its weapons cache.


Look at the swelling of anticipation concerning the Obama vice presidential pick. How did he intend to announce it? Sign up! The Obama campaign will email or instant message (I.M to the hip) the faithful who will be his campaign partner at the same moment the news media gets the word. This accomplishes two things. First, it gives his supporters a sense of involvement. They're special. They'll be the first to know. Second, in exchange, the Obama campaign machine now has a huge contact list it can pummel with information, talking points, replies to McCain attacks instantly. While a person is driving around running errands or sitting at his desk or working the line on the job, the Obama gang is shooting out the latest and greatest on what they're doing, and what is more influential than word-of-mouth to get the message out. "Hey did you hear, McCain doesn't know how many houses he has?"


John McCain has given all indications he doesn't know a BlackBerry from a dingle berry. He's admitted he doesn't know much about using computers and has no use for email. His campaign has been pretty good at getting response ads on television rapidly, but that's so 1980's! Around 1995, the launch of Windows 95, could be seen as the historical turning point, by the end of the decade, most of the population was on-line, had cell phones, or both. Howard Dean was the first candidate to fully embrace the information age to power up his campaign using the power of the Internet to get his message out and to suck up the donations from the faithful. Meanwhile, in part as response to a workaround to the McCain/Feingold restrictions, non-affiliated support groups, the infamous 527 groups took hold where MoveOn.org and others could do the Democratic party's dirty work posting vicious, darned near libelous attacks on Republican candidates or even Democrats who stray from the extreme leftist point-of-view. It didn't lead to Howard Dean being successful because Howard Dean is a world class asshole. (Another benefit of the information age, "RMF" can publish the exact truth as we just did on Howard Dean where the media and official campaigns have to tap-dance around with politically correct verbage!!!)


The technology was largely at hand four years ago. The Bush campaign had some ability using it whether old Dubya was sharp with those gadgets or not. Kerry showed little sophistication as well. However, those who were looking ahead to the future should have seen the obvious. Obama did. His competition so far has not. Just in the last four years, the handheld revolution has exploded where BlackBerry's provide a huge technology window from penthouses to hiking trails. Laptop computers are networked wirelessly. Even cheap cell phone service provides for text messaging. There is hardly a spot in the lower 48 states much less on the whole planet where even folks backpacking in the Rocky Mountains or sailing out in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay don't have access to information as it happens.


In the fast-paced lunge/response, response-to-response campaign information cycle, you snooze, you lose. A challenge not answered is a challenge lost.


Obama gets it. McCain does not. It is making a difference. Go to any active senior community and see how folks in their 80's are zipping all over cyberspace looking at pictures of their grandchildren, exploring hobbies, keeping informed, or learning what Medicare requirements are for an all-important piece of medical equipment they might need. It might not be McCain's calendar age that makes him too old, it might be his failure to keep up with the times.


The media hates John McCain. They want him to lose. The one way he can project over the media wall to the people is effective use of the new technologies, but you can't fight cannons with catapults. Geronimo, born and raised in Arizona territory, could well have been the most intense warrior as the Feds attempted to wipeout the last strong holds of Native American culture. The "Indian Chief" pictured with a rifle shows the irony of "too little, too late."
Got it John?
