But he assured us there was no sinister conspiracy involved.
Now with socialism about to enter the White House and Obama and his VIP endorsers flashing Illuminati hand signs with nudges and winks at his "transformative" leadership, maybe there will be a different spin. Now the house is falling in and the cards all look the same.
Either he was lying, or he doesn't get it, or he in fact is correct. Which do you think it is?
He was told the deal was done at the last meeting?
I hate the idea of an Obama election, but McCain is losing precisely because of
A) He is too old
B) He is a compromiser, not a Conservative
C) Fear of confrontation with the truth about his opponent
D) Has not been pounding Obama about his flip flop on campaign financing, or asking him directly, who will he owe for his election
E) Will not stake out any differences between himself and his opponent, beyond taxes. He ignores same sex marriage, supports amnesty for illegals, has not publicly pressured Congress to move quickly on new sources of energy, or questioned Obamas ties to a high number of radicals, including as a youth.
F) He could have easily taken the side of Conservatism during the bail-out debate, but compromised his so called principles again.
In short, though I will most likely vote for McCain, he is a poor candidate, with little chance of governing. Wrong man, wrong time.
Yes.
Read Thomas Franks' "What's the Matter With Kansas". (Franks, BTW, now has a regular WSJ column!).
This book, which plagiarizes and updates Lenin's classic "What Is To Be Done", outlines the whole theory.
The central Leftist problem is that the proletariat does not make revolution. According to Marx, proletarian revolution in response to capitalism is inevitable, one of the "iron laws of history". Is Marx wrong?
Lenin (and Franks) say "no". The problem is "false consciousness". Browbeaten by the bosses, the proles are brainwashed and cannot see their "true" interests.
So, what's needed is a revolutionary vanguard to seize power and to (this is very important) CHANGE THEIR THINKING TO APPRECIATE, INSTEAD OF TO CONDEMN, COMMUNISM.
To put it in a slightly different way, they will need to be forcibly taught to stop clinging to their guns and their religion before they can see the light. Children first.
This is the significance of Ayers. And Klonsky the Maoist.
Lenin's great innovation was his discovery of the method to change the thinking of the working classes. He called it the red terror.
I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Obama is surrounded by advisers and semi-clandestine handlers who are 100% committed Leninists who seek to control the schools, brainwash the masses, repress or eliminate the kulaks (entrepreneurs) and to FIX "what's the matter with Kansas" once and for all.
Of course, this is not Russia, crushed and defeated by world war. The question is, what event, or series of events, will cause the People of the United States to assert their original right to alter or abolish forms which have become destructive of the ends for which governments are instituted among men?
By any means necessary, to quote Minister Malcom.
If you love the USA, then you vote for McCain/Palin. If not, then you vote for 0bama, or stay home. It’s that simple. The damage though, with a 0bama presidency will be enormous
Good point....and NO CONSERVATIVE will EVER STEP INTO THE BREACH ANYMORE...NONE.....Not Joe the Plumber, No WRITER, No POLITICIAN....NO ONE will want to stick their neck out and be DESTROYED by the LEFT MEDI!!!
I disagree. We're seeing it now. We had Clinton. Then we had Gore (more liberal). Then we had Kerry (much more liberal). Now we have Obama (VERY liberal). Perhaps they're all equally liberal, and some were better at hiding it than others, but I doubt it.
If McCain loses, Governor Palin will enjoy no future in national politics...political history and current circumstance make it highly unlikely that she’d survive the defeat of a McCain-Palin ticket as an enduring figure of national stature...defeated Vice Presidential candidates almost always disappear as contenders for party leadership. Consider the four most recent losing nominees for Vice President: John Edwards, Joe Lieberman and Dan Quayle all tried to run Presidential campaigns after their losing VEEP bids and all three failed miserably. Meanwhile, the previously well-regarded Jack Kemp (Bob Dole’s running mate in ’96) left politics altogether after his ticket went down in flames.
I'm seeing apples and oranges here. Edwards was little more than a used-car salesman with an expensive haricut. Lieberman proved to a LOT of potential fans that he was nothing but a political whore. Quayle was completely neutered by the press. Kemp was a good conservative, like Palin, but, let's face it--he wasn't the most exciting person in the world. Sarah Palin energizes people, LOTS of people. While Mr. Medved could be correct in his assertion of her disappearance, it will be an inside job by the blue-blooded "intellectuals" who feel she has no place at their table, certainly not by the electorate.
You’re wrong...ACORN DID get us to where we are today...VOTE FRAUD has piut in a LOT of DEMOCRATS.
Hello Newbie......if Obama wins a LOT of GREAT MILITARY PEOPLE will retire and a LOT won’t sign up.......DRAFT COMING WITH WOMEN INCLUDED!
If the media had vetted Obama like the way they have gone after Joe the Plumber, Hillary would have won the nomination.
Obama would be a crackhead in Chicago if he had been vetted years ago.
And that’sa recipe for civil war. As usual, the Left is overreaching itself.
I mean, my family and friends are so clueless, and the one "thinker" is barely coming around to some sanity, for whom I had to read chunks of "Rules for Radicals" to. These are conservative, pro-life folks, who are confused! Well meaning, but truly ignorant. I'm the odd one out who actively seeks the truth, with such priceless resources as FreeRepublic, while family and friends are in their well-meaning bubbles.
Honestly, George Bush, while he has some positives, has set the financial socialist table; Obama looks like he'll complete the job on the other fronts. Can't wake the sheeple.
Is McCain the media pick? I'm thinking he is. If so, he's doing actually an even better job than expected!! Picking Palin was gutsy and amazing.
Tinfoil hat off.
The dumbed down electorate subjected to pro-Obama propaganda and mind control from the media has been a factor, along with the media not vetting Obama properly. They have given Joe the Plumber more scrutiny than Obama.

This idiocy is the one that irritates me the most, and I see it parroted here constantly. Newsflash : We've had de facto open borders since the early 1990s at least. We have been inundated with Third Worlders who vote (legally or otherwise)overwhelmingly for the Democratic ticket and the goodies and racial politics it offers. Furthermore, we have the children born between 1980-1990, when Ronald Reagan and his VP were in office. This generation is now eligible to vote, and they have been subjected to leftist indoctrination from elementary school on, that previous generations of voters were spared till college! We do NOT have the same electorate now OR in 2012 as we did in 1980, so why on EARTH do some people believe a new Ronald Reagan will magically appear if we elect a "new" Jimmy Carter ? BHO is far more leftist and IMO far more EVIL than Carter ever dreamed of being. Look at how he tried to use state Law enforcement in Missouri against detractors, and how he tried to sue to keep NRA ads off the air waves in Pennsylvania (and Ohio?). This creature is something unprecedented in US (but not world....) history, and I do not think the Constitution or the country can survive even 4 years of the t**d.
That’s my take on it. It’s not something I enjoy owning up to.
Polls *always* tilt to the Democrats. Never to the Republicans.
